Scientists have created the world's thinnest magnet, just one atom thick, which could revolutionize computer memory in the ...

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.

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

A discovery by physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing ...

From quantum spins in exotic 2D materials to the magnets in your kitchen appliances, magnetism is everywhere — quietly powering, protecting, and connecting our lives. Scientists are now mapping its ...

Somewhere deep inside aging red giant stars, magnetic fields planted during stellar birth may still be humming. A study published in April 2026 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters has connected ...

A new study demonstrating the emergence of localized magnetism due to a 2D nanomaterial's unique, star-like atomic-scale structure has potential for applications in next-generation electronics based ...
