This episode is brought to you by the Music for Scientists album! You probably know about the geomagnetic field that protects the earth from solar storms and radiation. But precision satellites have ...

So what exactly do magnetic fields actually do? What would happen if they went away? Turns out, it could be catastrophic!

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental ...

Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Abstract: Measuring and evaluating the field quality of strongly curved magnets, which play a crucial role in beam transmission, pose challenges for both the design and experimentation process. This ...

Alpine newts are born and live as larvae in puddles, ponds and streams. After metamorphosis, while still young, they leave the water and spend almost the entire year in the dense, humid forests of ...

Rare-earth elements are a set of metallic elements in the periodic table. Chemists usually refer to a group of 17 elements when they use this label: the 15 lanthanides from lanthanum to lutetium, and ...
