Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

Controlling the arrangement of atomic vacancies offers a new way to adjust electronic, magnetic, thermal, and hydrogen storage properties in crystalline materials. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Atomic ...

2D materials are gaining a lot attention in the nanotechnology space. Of these, graphene is the most widely known, followed by hexagonal boron nitride (dubbed ‘white graphene). However, there are many ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

Two recent innovative projects that are being enabled by lasers. How lasers make it possible to assess the very subtle magnetism of “non-magnetic” metals. The use of lasers to quantify ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...
