Researchers have discovered magnetic monopoles – isolated magnetic charges – in a material closely related to rust, a result that could be used to power

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

When the atomic lattice in a rare-earth crystal gets animated with a corkscrew-shaped vibration called a chiral phonon, the crystal becomes a magnet.

Thin flakes of graphite can be tuned to exhibit three important properties.

A newly discovered type of electronic behavior could help with packing more data into magnetic memory devices.

MIT researchers show how topology can help create magnetism at higher temperatures.

Measuring the ages of planets and stars is tricky. An observational astrophysicist describes the subtle clues that provide good estimates for how old different space objects are.

A new study led by Cambridge University confirms that planting hedges between roadsides and school playgrounds can dramatically reduce children’s exposure to

The ultrasmall “switch” could be easily scaled.

A new system that can quickly and inexpensively detect airborne viruses uses the same technology that enables high-speed trains.
