Science in the summer should be a matter-antimatter collision for most kids, but Saturday's Spectorium of Science might change their minds. The two dozen displays of magnetism and perception offer a ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

Using super-chilled atoms, physicists have for the first time observed a weird phenomenon called quantum magnetism, which describes the behavior of single atoms as they act like tiny bar magnets.
