Study proposes a new way skyrmions can form in magnets without exotic physics
A theoretical study posted to arXiv in early 2026 argues that magnetic skyrmions, tiny whirlpool-like spin textures inside magnets, can emerge from ordinary atomic-scale interactions rather than ...
Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...
A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...
Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...
Collaboration to Deliver Superconducting Magnets up to 30 Tesla Through this partnership with the MagLab, Quantum ...
When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...
The complete magnetic properties of the prototype molecular magnet Mn 12 have been modelled, for the first time, by an international team of researchers. The calculations will be crucial for ...
