Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties. Researchers in ...

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

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, ...

That's not to say current observatories can't do some preliminary work with strong magnetic fields, but given that HWO won't be launching for at least another 15 years, it might be a while before we ...
