Altermagnetism — a newly confirmed third class of magnetism — has won Europe's 2026 Europhysics Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Condensed Matter Physics, awarded to physicists Šmejkal, Sinova, ...

Measuring faint magnetic fields is useful in a number of areas, including mapping brain activity, monitoring hearts and ...

A previously overlooked set of spin symmetries has revealed that magnetism does not fit neatly into just two categories.

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it. Reading time 3 minutes In 2022, physicists discovered altermagnets—a third ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

Theoretical predictions move closer to experimental results, but questions remain about possible gaps in the standard model of particle physics. The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists ...

Topological surface states are found to mediate a strong, non‑oscillatory interaction that aligns magnetic moments and enhances ferromagnetic order Spintronics ...
