A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) is an extremely sensitive magnetometer that measures very subtle magnetic fields. It exploits the quantum mechanical properties of ...

A series of buzzing, bee-like “loop-currents” could explain a recently discovered, never-before-seen phenomenon in a type of quantum material. The findings from researchers at CU Boulder may one day ...

The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was discussing in the year 1820 about the possibility of electricity and magnetism being associated to one another, and in the process presenting it finally ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.
