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

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

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

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

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 ...

Two-dimensional numerical computations were carried out in order to clarify the effect of magnetic field on paramagnetic and diamagnetic fluids in a vertical cylindrical container with thermal and ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds.

Magnetic Materials: Certain materials, known as ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and paramagnetic, exhibit magnetic properties that enhance or interact with external magnetic fields.
