Researchers have proposed methods to tune the properties of altermagnets, a step toward practical applications for this new form of magnet. Read More »
Experiments identify temperature ranges where exotic materials known as spin ices are in equilibrium or out of equilibrium. Read More »
A new formula that connects a material’s magnetic permeability to spin dynamics has been derived and tested 84 years after the debut of its electric counterpart. Read More »
Theoretical work indicates that a realistic model of a one-dimensional quantum magnet has a topologically nontrivial ground state. Read More »
Researchers show they can magnetize an antiferromagnet using terahertz light, switching the state on a million times faster than is possible for other magnetic states. Read More »
By manipulating and detecting nuclear spins in a tiny floating diamond, scientists have reported a record-long spin coherence time for a levitated system. Read More »
Crystals that have both a particular structure and a particular combination of electronic orbitals can be simultaneously ferromagnetic and ferroelectric. Read More »
A quantum degeneracy named after a Chinese yo-yo boosts the magnetization lifetime of a short chain of magnetic iron atoms by a factor of 1000. Read More »
Imposing time-dependent strain on a magnetic disk induces vortex dynamics and offers a path toward energy-efficient spintronic devices. Read More »
