Scientists have forced a solid magnetic metal into a spin liquid state, which may lead to insights into superconductivity and quantum computing. It sounds like a riddle: What do you get if you take ...

Physicists call this strange state a quantum spin liquid, and for decades it has been one of the most elusive phases of ...

Researchers have pioneered a tabletop magnetic pulse generator that allows researchers to collect real-time, high-resolution data in a system that couples high magnetic fields and low temperature with ...

Ferrofluid is one of the strangest substances ever created – a liquid controlled by magnets. In this experiment, I try making my own. Trump makes personal confession about Russia-Ukraine peace deal ...
