The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Scientists discover altermagnets, which have favorable properties of both of the two other kinds.

Electric currents and magnetic fields are closely ... Unpaired electrons are important in creating strong magnetic effects. Magnetism to many people means the way fridge magnets stick to the ...

When an electric current passes through a metal ... and combine forces. Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one ...

Altermagnetism was first theorized in 2019 and experimentally confirmed in 2024 by researchers at Mainz University. It ...
