When we think about the Earth’s magnetic field, we often associate it with compasses and navigation. However, did you know that our planet’s magnetic field has a rich history of change, including ...

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 ...

On a breezy afternoon last autumn in Cambridge, Mass., in a laboratory thrumming with the huff-whish-huff sound of ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of magnetism and magnetically ordered materials (ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and antiferromagnets), spin-dependent electron transport in such materials, and ...

As industries move toward smarter and more peripheral-heavy hardware, the role of reliable connectivity becomes paramount. The integration of high-efficiency components, such as magnetic power ...

Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect electrical order, the other on internal magnetic chaos. Now researchers at MIT ...

Cryogenic characterization is a central component in facilitating and accelerating scientific and quantum technology breakthroughs. Quantum sensors, quantum communication devices, and future quantum ...
