Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

Liquid nitrogen isn’t exactly an everyday material, but it’s acquired conveniently enough to be used in extreme overclocking experiments, classroom demonstrations, chemistry and physics ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

A robot boat with a propeller made from liquid magnets could be a safer alternative than solid metal blades, which can damage wildlife. Jun Shintake at the University of Electro-Communications in ...

Physicists have discovered stacked pancakes of 'liquid' magnetism that may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets. Physicists have discovered "stacked pancakes of ...

Researchers were shocked to discover that what was thought to be a quantum state is actually an entirely new phase of matter.

Research inspired by Terminator 2's shape-shifting, liquid metal robot sees liquid-metal electrical conductors manipulated in mid-air without contact. The liquid wires can be controlled to move in any ...

A recent study, published in Science Advances and co-led by Rice University’s Pengcheng Dai, found that the material cerium ...
