Some of Earth's largest climate systems may collapse not with a bang, but with a whimper. Surprisingly, experiments with magnets are helping us understand how. We now widely accept that greenhouse ...

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...

Perturbing electron spins in a magnet usually results in excitations called 'spin waves' that ripple through the magnet like waves moving across the surface of a pond that's been struck by a pebble.

In space exploration, oxygen is an essential resource. It provides the air astronauts breathe and propels spacecraft by burning the fuel. However, it is not feasible to carry oxygen tanks into space.
