Quantum computers are still a work in progress but quantum sensors are already in use at hospitals, laboratories and by ...

Scientists have shown that changing magnetic fields in precise ways can create exotic quantum matter that does not normally ...

Engineering atom interactions inside an artificial quantum material resulted in a new quantum state: the higher-order topological magnet. When different quantum states combine, new collective states ...

Vortices in superconductors have so far been considered a disruption, as they can impair the superconducting properties.

Diamond is extremely valuable to science and technology not for its sparkle but for its extreme hardness, high thermal ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

A quantum state that exists only because a magnetic field keeps flipping on schedule may turn out to be one of the hardest ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

A quantum 'miracle material' could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers has shown. A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University ...
