Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at ...

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 of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

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

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.

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

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