Cobalt honeycomb magnet shows how quantum spin liquids might be engineered

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

Magnetic fields slow carbon migration in iron by altering energy barriers, study shows

Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon ...

Magnets produced at room temperature using lasers could one day produce better HDDs, faster non-silicon processors — and at 20nm, they are so thin that they could be used ...

Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.
