A surprising effect was discovered through a collaborative study by researchers from TU Wien and institutions in Croatia, ...

MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space— “free-range” particles never ...

The electron shell of atoms acts as an "electromagnetic shield ... It makes it possible to measure the magnetic properties of an atomic nucleus very precisely. Stefan Dickopf, the lead doctoral ...

A new approach developed by Boston College physics researchers creates synthetic layered magnets with a unprecedented level of control over their magnetic ... properties of a chromium halide can be ...

Researchers captured the first-ever images of atoms freely interacting in space, offering a rare glimpse into quantum ...

It is now possible to simulate large systems with tens of thousands of atoms and to look into the effects of defects, grain boundaries, and nanostructuring on magnetic properties, as well as to ...

In atoms with filled electron shells ... which is the temperature above which a substance loses its magnetic properties. At room temperature, a pure bar of neodymium wouldn’t be a magnet ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...

Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing. In 2023, EPFL researchers ...

A combination of theory and experiment is shedding new light on the structural and electronic properties of gold nanoclusters, including cage-like structures that contain other atoms. Gold is ...

A surprising connection has been found, between two seemingly very different classes of superconductors. In a new material, atoms are distributed irregularly, but still manage to create long-range ...
