While conducting polymers generally display paramagnetism—where they are weakly attracted to magnetic fields—this breakthrough marks the first step towards developing a conducting material that ...

When placed next to a bar magnet, an aluminum ball draws gently towards the magnet. In contrast, a ball made of silver moves out of the magnetic field. The mechanisms underlying these different ...

ONE of the difficulties which confronts Bohr's structure of the hydrogen atom is the fact that hydrogen, on his hypothesis, should be paramagnetic, whereas it is, like the majority of the simple gases ...

In this editorial, Enrico Ravera gives an overview of the use of paramagnetic metals in NMR and explains how this can provide crucial information about the structure and dynamics of proteins, nucleic ...

An international team of researchers has observed that local thermal perturbations of spins in a solid can convert heat to energy even in a paramagnetic material - where spins weren't thought to ...

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...
