(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the ...

Scientists have cracked a century-old physics mystery by detecting magnetic signals in non-magnetic metals using only light and a revamped laser technique. Previously undetectable, these faint ...

A ccording to Alfred Nobel's will, the Nobel Prize in Physics was to go to "the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics." The prize has been ...

By miniaturizing THz spectroscopy to a chip-scale platform, James McIver’s lab has uncovered a promising new method for controlling quantum materials. Under certain conditions, two-dimensional (2D) ...

Until now, scientists were only aware of the presence of insulators exhibiting one-dimensional magnetism. However, a team of researchers has observed unique one-dimensional magnetism in Ti₄MnBi₂. “We ...

In the right combinations and conditions, two-dimensional materials can host intriguing and potentially valuable quantum ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...

Researchers have found that 2D materials can self-form microscopic cavities that trap light and electrons, altering their ...

A powerful new method to control magnetic behaviour in ultra-thin materials could lead to faster, smaller and more energy-efficient technologies, a study suggests. Researchers have developed a new way ...
