Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

Doublon formation: In the moiré material produced at ETH Zurich, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than ...

Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 in 1994, hundreds of studies have been published on this compound, which have suggested that Sr 2 RuO 4 is a very special system with unique ...

The fundamental magnetic phases are defined by the specific spontaneous arrangements of magnetic moments -- or electron spins -- and of atoms that carry the moments in crystals. Ferromagnets are the ...

Magnetism plays a crucial role in enabling various applications, ranging from memory storage devices to advanced medical imaging, energy-efficient electric motors, magnetic sensors, and emerging ...

Magnets are at the heart of much of our technology, and their properties are exploited in myriad ways across a vast range of devices, from simple relays to enormously complex particle accelerators. A ...

An experiment 180 years ago first demonstrated a connection between light and electromagnetism – but the link is deeper than ...
