The unusual properties of a single-atom-thick layer of a ferromagnetic alloy deposited on platinum hint at new possibilities for the further miniaturization of recording devices.

An unconventional muon spin rotation experiment can determine if the magnetism in a spin ice is static or dynamic.

From conservation laws to selection rules, symmetry arguments have long been revered for their far-reaching consequences in physics. Now they point to an effective spin-orbit coupling in antiferromagnetic conductors.

Researchers in Japan have identified spin excitations in multiferroics that can be driven by electric fields.

Scientists in Japan have discovered a material with magnetically switchable optical dichroism that is four orders of magnitude larger than what has been seen before.
