The difficulty with quantum spin liquids is that nature prefers order. In ordinary magnetic materials, unpaired electrons ...

A team of researchers has managed to generate and detect spin currents in graphene without using any external magnetic fields for the very first time, successfully addressing a long-standing challenge ...

Strange fast-spinning stars called magnetars get their names from the fact that they are the universe's most powerful magnets and unleash massive amounts of radiation. But now scientists have found ...

A new permanent magnet design of quasi-axisymmetric stellarator was made by researchers led by Prof. XU Guosheng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...
