Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

Theoretical physicist Ziqiang Wang and researcher Kun Jiang, Ph.D. '18, help an international team of colleagues explain new findngs in the kagome magnet Boston College researcher Kun Jiang and ...

The magnetic bead exerting 50-piconewtons of force on the nuclear envelope caused deformation of the nucleus. Credit: Wang et al., Sci. Robot. 4, eaav6180 (2019) Being able to directly probe ...

Scientists are exploring special magnets called noncentrosymmetric magnets, which have unique spin patterns like skyrmions. These patterns can affect how electricity moves through materials, which is ...

Gravity basically doesn’t factor into a new style of rotation-based magnetic levitation being developed. This spin-stabilized levitation uses a rotating magnet to steady the levitating magnet and lock ...

Magnetic skyrmions are small swirling topological defects in the magnetization texture. Their stabilization and dynamics depend strongly on their topological properties. In most cases, they are ...
