Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself ...

This work reports on studies of two-dimensional networks of Cu 2+ ions, built by exchanging Na-bentonite with Cu 2+ aqueous or with the bis (ethylenediamine) complex, [Cu (C 2 H 4 (NH 2)) 2] 2+, at ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

The cyclability and frequency dependence of the adiabatic temperature change (ΔTad) under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) are significantly important from the viewpoint of refrigeration ...

One of those investigations involved a distinctive deep dive into studying the interior of the moon.

Faraday rotation (FR) is a useful optical technique to investigate magnetic properties of solid and liquid samples. FR refers to magnetically induced birefringence whereby a substance rotates the ...

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

A differential paramagnetic approach is used for the demagnetizing correction of solenoid measurements of soft magnetic cylinders. In this approach, an accurately calculated fluxmetric demagnetizing ...

A new material developed at Penn State defies a fundamental law of physics, opening doors to highly efficient solar cells.

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...
