Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of ...

HOUSTON - (July 14, 2015) - Titanium and gold are usually not magnetic and cannot be magnets - unless you combine them just so. Scientists at Rice University did so and discovered what is a first of ...

It was another good week for physics as a team led by a group at the University of Minnesota discovered a new magnetic element. They demonstrated that the chemical element ruthenium is the fourth ...

A team of scientists developed a new machine learning model for discovering critical-element-free permanent magnet materials based on the predicted Curie temperature of new material combinations. A ...

A new method for combining magnetic elements with semiconductors—which are vital materials for computers and other electronic devices—was unveiled by a research team led by the California NanoSystems ...

Magnetic nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials that exhibit magnetic properties at the nanoscale. These particles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, are composed of magnetic ...

An ex-Wall Street banker who put $2m into a Wyoming coal mine has potentially received a colossal investment return after discovering “rare earth elements” worth $37bn at his reserve. Randall Atkins, ...

In the beginning, there was no magnetism. Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe contained an awesomely hot cloud of electrically charged protons, electrons, helium and lithium nuclei. Each ...
