In superconductors, electrons zip around with virtually no resistance or energy loss. In insulators, however, they barely move, lacking the energy to overcome high resistance. Strangely, scientists ...

The element cobalt is considered a typical ferromagnet with no further secrets. However, an international team led by HZB researcher Dr. Jaime Sánchez-Barriga has now uncovered complex topological ...

The magnet is the characteristic substance that draws in the ferromagnetic material like iron or nickel by the force of attraction. Individuals depend on magnets for industrial and commercial use.

To understand the unique physical phenomena associated with the properties of magnetic hedgehogs and antihedgehogs, which behave as virtual magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles respectively, it is ...

Intercalating native metal atoms (self-intercalation) into the van der Waals (vdW) gaps of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) has been considered as an effective method to create novel 2D ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
