Researchers have shown that gate voltages can slide graphene's atomic layers between stacking configurations, reversibly ...

Bilayer non-magnetic semiconductor shows transient spin control using linearly polarized light, laying groundwork for ...

University of Toronto researchers detect ‘octupolar’ magnetism—a complex form of quantum magnetism exhibiting eight poles ...

In some materials, physical properties don't emerge from their individual particles, but from the collective behavior of ...

University of Toronto-led physicists have shown that hidden octupolar magnetic order leaves a detectable handedness signature ...

Most magnets – like those on a fridge door or in a compass – have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a ...

Tiny bits of rock recorded magnetic forces in the early solar system before the sun fully formed. Scientists recently figured out how to read these ancient records, which suggest that a powerful ...

THERE are few places on Earth where conditions get as extreme as they do at the National Ignition Facility near Los Angeles. At its heart, 192 lasers are trained on a gold cylinder roughly the size of ...

Korean researchers have developed a technique that momentarily generates magnetism in a non-magnetic semiconductor simply by ...

Researchers have found that magnetic fields buried deep inside stars can survive their entire lifetimes and later reappear on white dwarfs, the dense stellar cores left behind after… Researchers have ...
