When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has identified a previously unknown type of large-scale wave deep within the Sun, ...

Researchers have uncovered a new way to generate exotic oscillation states in tiny magnetic structures—using only minimal ...

High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, ...

Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Millions of people have a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, which causes the heart's upper chambers or atria ...
