From magnetic drawing toys to grade-school science demonstrations, tiny particles of iron oxide can be delightfully entertaining when subjected to magnetic forces. Modify the particles a bit via ...

In experiments with ultracold rubidium atoms scientists create magnetic quantum crystals made of gigantic Rydberg atoms. In experiments with ultracold rubidium atoms MPQ scientists create magnetic ...

A physicist has been studing magnetic monopoles in spin ice crystals, explains why double layers of magnetic charges can be found. OIST's physicist studies magnetic monopoles in spin ice crystals and ...

Magnets are great stuff and everyone loves them, there are so many things you can do with them, including creating a model of the crystalline structure of solids, just as [Cody´s Lab] did using a ...

Colloidal photonic crystals that can be made to change color by applying a magnetic field have been developed by researchers in the US. The crystals could be used to dramatically improve the quality ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As ...

Environmental decoherence processes are reasonably well understood at the atomic scale 9 (although some poorly understood noisy sources remain 10). However both quantum information processing, and the ...

Florida State University researchers have engineered a crystalline material that twists magnetism into swirling ...
