The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.

For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of magnetism in 2D materials that can help store data. The team led by researchers from the University of Stuttgart experimentally demonstrated the previously ...

In collaboration with international partners, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have experimentally demonstrated a previously unknown form of magnetism in atomically thin material layers. The ...

Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason. But what if there were another, stranger way to make a material ...

Scientists have observed a completely new type of magnetic structure for the first time by using extremely short laser flashes to manipulate magnetism at the nanoscale. The breakthrough, published in ...

(Nanowerk News) Not all magnets are the same. When we think of magnetism, we often think of magnets that stick to a refrigerator’s door. For these types of magnets, the electronic interactions that ...
