A high-symmetry assembly of molecular spin qubits has been achieved in the metal–organic framework (MOF) [Ho(pzdo)4](ClO4)3 (1), where the eight-coordinate Ho3+ nodes are bridged by ...

Earth’s Magnetic Field Might Weirdly Be Controlling the Air We Breathe, Scientists Say Magnetism and oxygen may intrinsically influence each other, but experts aren’t sure why.

This schematic illustrates how regulating electron spin states through six key strategies—including defect engineering, valence modulation, and magnetic field application—can optimize ...

It turns out bogong moths possess a most extraordinary ability to navigate, harnessing Earth’s magnetic field and the stars as compasses to follow their inherited migratory direction.

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.
