For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...

For about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

Magnets are a lot more than just refrigerator decorations or components in science kits. These fascinating objects, which have been known since ancient times, are central to a wide array of ...
