A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.

Scientists have shown that changing magnetic fields in precise ways can create exotic quantum matter that does not normally ...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While ...

Numerical simulations provide a mechanism that explains how celestial objects such as stars and galaxies can generate ordered, macroscopic magnetic fields. The mechanism arises from turbulence — ...
