Altermagnetism, a third class of collinear magnetism that sits between the two familiar kinds, has been confirmed in ...

Jairo Sinova, Libor Šmejkal and Tomáš Jungwirth have won the 2026 Europhysics Prize for discovering altermagnetism, a third ...

Ever wonder why birds flock together? Or how molecules are organized in water compared to ice? Or if there are phases of matter besides the familiar solid, liquid and gas? These examples of emergent ...

This year marked the 25th year of the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (BSS) which brings advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and lecturers from around the world ...

In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) ...

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

Cells are expert cooperators and collaborators. To maintain tissue health, cells talk to each other, exert pressure on each other, and kick out cells that are not contributing to the overall ...

Xi Dai explains his fascination with exotic materials, like the Weyl semimetals whose discovery he contributed to. Weyl semimetals are topological materials with a special electronic state where the ...

Physicists have uncovered a hidden third form of magnetism that challenges more than 100 years of established physics. Called altermagnetism, the discovery could transform future computing and ...
