Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working with international partners, have uncovered surprising behavior in a specially engineered crystal. Composed of tantalum ...

Clusters of 10 tantalum atoms, arranged in triangles, create stress in the crystal’s structure. This stress unlocks unique magnetic properties, essential for future technologies such as quantum ...

McClintock’s maize breeding experiments provided the first detailed descriptions of transposable elements. What exactly are these “jumping genes,” and why are they so important? As previously ...

Magnetism as a research area investigates phenomena arising from moving charges and intrinsic magnetic moments of particles, with emphasis on spin, orbital angular momentum, and their collective ...
