Magnets are notoriously codependent. Try to break apart a magnet's north and south ends, and each half gets its own fresh set of two poles. Scientists have long hunted for a lone north or south ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

A rare earth breakthrough could rewrite the rules of recycling. Scientists at IOCB Prague have developed a cleaner, smarter way to recover these critical elements, crucial to technologies from ...

Method in the magnets Jarillo-Herrero and Xu aren’t the only ones studying 2D magnets. In late April, another group of researchers published their observations of magnetism in an ultrathin ...

It’s time to drop the magnets, meteorite hunters. The commonly used method for identifying space rocks can destroy scientific information. Touching even a small magnet to a meteorite can erase ...
