The Mortgage Purchase Applications Index, published by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), measures the number of mortgage loan applications submitted to purchase a home. It is widely used as a ...

A research team at Fudan University in Shanghai has achieved a breakthrough in the study of a class of magnetic materials ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

Unlike conventional layered antiferromagnets, in which magnetic layers flip one by one and can disrupt the overall magnetic state, the newly studied material switches in an "interlayer-locked" manner.

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have developed a new way to fabricate three-dimensional nanoscale devices from single-crystal materials using a focused ion ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics.

Molecular imaging is redefining in vivo characterization of multiple sclerosis, a demyelinating disease with complex and heterogeneous clinical profiles. Recent advances in PET tracers enable more ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have developed a new way to fabricate three-dimensional nanoscale devices ...

An international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements – in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic moments.
