Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Researchers have observed directly and for the first time magnetoacoustic waves (sound-driven spin waves), which are considered as potential information carriers for novel computation schemes. These ...

I HAVE read with interest Prof. Barrett's paper in NATURE, vol. xxvi. p. 585. Between his results as to the effect of magnetisation on the dimensions of bars of iron, of steel, and of nickel, and ...

A long-standing explanation for magnetoresistance may be incomplete. New evidence suggests a universal interfacial mechanism ...

With copper-substituted lead apatite below room temperature, Chinese researchers observe diamagnetic dc magnetization under magnetic field of 25 Oe with remarkable bifurcation between ...

Free electron X-ray lasers deliver intense ultrashort pulses of x-rays, which can be used to image nanometer-scale objects in a single shot. When the x-ray wavelength is tuned to an electronic ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was developed to detect protons, and has since then been applied in studying the molecular structure of proteins, RNA, DNA complexes, and interactions ...

Tests of glass samples gathered on Apollo missions show magnetization may result from impacts of objects like meteors, not as a result of magnetization from the presence of a magnetic shield. In 2024, ...

Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered a novel superconducting material by synthesizing a new transition metal zirconide with varying iron-to-nickel ratios. The study was ...
