WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...

A new paper describes a molecular material that combines a stable internal magnetic structure with almost no external ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the poles to the reliability of GPS on a jet’s navigation screen. When that ...

Despite the fact that our universe is electrically neutral, atoms found throughout the universe can be positively charged nuclei or negatively charged electrons. When these charges accelerate, they ...

Imagine not having to pay your electricity bills because a gigantic magnet surrounding the Earth produced power. Well, Earth indeed has a magnet like this, which is its magnetic field. When the fiery ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...
