Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

In the vast, featureless expanse of the open ocean, how does a sea turtle find its way? For loggerhead turtles, the answer ...

Widespread magnetism dating from our solar system’s earliest beginnings some 4.57 billion years ago likely played a major role in creating orbital order out of chaos. But until now, magnetism’s role ...

Collinear ordered magnetic materials have conventionally been put into two classes: ferromagnets, in which magnetic moments of neighbouring atoms point in the same direction; and antiferromagnets, in ...
