Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

New research conducted by Princeton physicists is delving with high resolution into the complex and fascinating world of topological quantum matter—a branch of physics that studies the inherent ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Bizarre magnetic behavior that was predicted by a famous physicist more than 80 years ago has finally been demonstrated in the lab, according to a new study. The behavior of an electron in response to ...

The explanation for this magnetic chaos, scientists now believe, lies near the center of these distant planets. Where Earth has molten iron churning in its outer core, Neptune and Uranus have ...
