For decades, scientists have known that Earth’s magnetic field helps migratory birds and homing pigeons navigate. Just how ...

Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth’s magnetic fields, especially at night or in overcast conditions when visual landmarks or ...

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 ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

For the first time, an international team of researchers has experimentally observed magnetic hopfions.

China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the strongest all-superconducting user magnet ever. On Tuesday, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that a new ...
