By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Due to the spinning, an electron behaves as an elementary magnet, called a "spin." The symmetry of electron orbital motion determines the direction of their spins, which can be thought of as a small ...

Recently, a group of researchers discovered a novel way to achieve spin-valve effects using kagome quantum magnets. "This approach uses a prototype device made from the kagome magnet TmMn₆Sn₆," ...

A team of researchers has managed to generate and detect spin currents in graphene without using any external magnetic fields for the very first time, successfully addressing a long-standing challenge ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

Frustrated magnets are materials in which localized magnetic moments, or spins, interact through competing exchange interactions that cannot be simultaneously satisfied, giving rise to a large ...

Gravity basically doesn’t factor into a new style of rotation-based magnetic levitation being developed. This spin-stabilized levitation uses a rotating magnet to steady the levitating magnet and lock ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...
