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

Multi-year Event Horizon Telescope observations capture evolving polarization patterns around the supermassive black hole and reveal radio emission from the jet base.

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.

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

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

The first image of a black hole was of M87*, the supermassive monster at the center of the enormous elliptical galaxy M87. The image was only possible thanks to the Event Horizon Telescope, and follow ...

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 ...

Tiny deviations: the new metal detector looks for minute disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field. (Courtesy: iStock/muffinmaker) A compact, low-cost and low-power metal detector that can identify the ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...
