Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in a plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the ...

Ames Laboratory scientists discovered magnetic interactions that could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through special materials. The results could impact future technological ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

Physicists have published an article showing that magnetic reconnection -- the process in which magnetic field lines snap together and release energy -- can be triggered by motion in nearby magnetic ...

'We study collective electronic effects in various materials, especially in those that are characterized by fairly strong electron-electron interaction,' says Evgeny. 'This interaction leads to such ...

As the world races toward carbon neutrality—think Japan's 2050 goal and global bans on gas-guzzling cars by ...

New observations from the National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory's (NSF NRAO) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (NSF VLA) provide compelling evidence supporting a universal ...

The decay and fission of magnetic quivers provides insights into the physical and mathematical foundations of quantum field theories. QFTs are the framework for the description of countless physical ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...
