BENGALURU: In a breakthrough that could shrink brain-scanning MRI-like machines from room-sized setups to something that may ...

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

Researchers have developed a new technology that could help measure the invisible forces of magnetism—from inside the human brain to the depths of outer space—without needing bulky shielding or ...

Researchers have discovered why atacamite, a rare mineral found in Chile, spontaneously cools down when exposed to a magnetic ...

In order to detect weak fields, the energy differencebetween different magnetization directions should be small; this is usuallyachieved by using many non-magnetic atomic spacer layers.

Magnetic frustration in atacamite triggers dramatic cooling when exposed to strong fields by Simon Schmitt, Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert ...

With the ability to detect and amplify extremely weak electromagnetic signals without adding additional noise, masers have ...

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

Many animals seem to have a mysterious sixth sense that allows them to travel through the world in ways that humans can only ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field and the amount of oxygen in its atmosphere seem to be correlated—and scientists want to know why ...
