In classical mechanics, particles are represented by point masses or rigid bodies, and in field theory by wave-like excitations or vibrations. Magnetic skyrmions are small, vortex-like spin textures of topological origin ...
Many U.S. employees believe working from home—or at least away from the office—can bring freedom and stress-free job satisfaction. A new Baylor University study says, "Not so fast."

Scientists have developed some of the tiniest magnets to date, just 3-7 nanometers (nm) in size. Due to their small dimensions and high thermal stability, as well as the simple self-assembly process used to make them, the ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are materials with nano-sized pores in their crystal structures. These pores allow MOFs to capture molecules so efficiently that they are now prime candidates in applications like carbon capture ...
