Magnetism is a force we can’t see. Something is magnetic if it can pull another magnetic object towards it. Just like these fridge magnets. A magnet attracts or repels things made from certain ...

The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny objects has led to technological leaps that weren’t possible before they came along, like the vibration motors in cell phones ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising magnetic spin phase where order and disorder mix, challenging old ideas.

Researchers have developed an innovative method to study ultrafast magnetism in materials. They have shown the generation and application of magnetic field steps, in which a magnetic field is turned ...

Metals are the only substances that are magnetic. But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see ...

Magnetism has traditionally come in two varieties: ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, based on the alignment (or not) of magnetic moments in a material. Early last year, physicists announced ...
