The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

Newly released images of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87 show that the plasma that swirls around ...

It turns out that the familiar ground-shaking is only a small portion (10%) of the total energy released. While a tiny ...

Their results pave the way for developing advanced electronic devices that rely on nonmagnetic materials. For the first time, researchers in Japan have detected a giant anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ...
