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

Scientists in Korea have engineered magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin with extraordinary precision at room ...

Quantum sensors built in nanometer thin boron nitride sheets endure extreme pressure, enabling precise measurements of stress ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through new research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. Our electronics can no longer shrink and ...

Scientists have long struggled to understand how common planets form. A new supercomputer simulation shows that the missing ingredient may be magnetism. We like to think of ourselves as unique. That ...
