Opposites Repel: ESS Scientist Discovers New Magnetic Phenomenon

7/5/2012 4:03 AM EST  -   European Spallation Source AB
For the first time, a novel magnetic state has been discovered, where the most basic concept of magnetism - that opposites attract - does not hold true. The phenomenon has been discovered and described by an international team of scientists lead by ESS Director for Science Dimitri Argyriou. The discovery holds promise for tomorrow's memory and sensor technology, enabling devices from phones to cars. The finding was...
