Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Scientists have shown that changing magnetic fields in precise ways can create exotic quantum matter that does not normally ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...

If you want to measure something that precisely, there's no way to do it yourself,” Joshua Labounty, a UW postdoctoral ...

Particle detector Calculations suggest that millicharged dark matter could be detected by observing its interaction with ...

Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism in solid-state devices. A series of recent experiments and theoretical ...

Surprising result could accelerate the development of altermagnetic spintronics with potential applications in advanced ...

A spinning sphere of molten sodium behaves nothing like researchers predicted. As the liquid metal rotates, it generates chaotic magnetic fields that appear and collapse almost instantly. The ...
