In antiferromagnets, every other electron spin points in the opposite direction, hence there is no net magnetization. ... they measured its effects at a variety of magnetic field angles.

For the first time, spin waves, also known as magnons, have been directly observed at the nanoscale. This breakthrough was ...

A new experiment pulled off the most precise measurement of an electron’s self-generated magnetic field—and the universe’s subatomic model is at stake.

A groundbreaking step in AI hardware efficiency comes from Germany, where scientists have engineered a vast spin waveguide ...

The standard method for controlling electron spin is electron spin resonance (ESR), which involves applying oscillating radiofrequency magnetic fields to the qubits.

Magnetic measurements in household and work environments demonstrate measurements below 0.1mT, or 1G, at distances greater than 16cm, or 6.3in, from various appliances and tools.

To make an electric transformer, copper wire is often wound around a magnetic metal like iron, a setup that helps concentrate a magnetic field. (Image credit: FactoryTh via Getty Images) ...
