At the Berlin synchrotron radiation source BESSY II, the largest magnetic anisotropy of a single molecule ever measured experimentally has been determined. The larger this anisotropy is, the better a ...

A global seismic study has revealed that ancient tectonic slabs buried 1,800 miles below Earth's surface are still deforming the lowermost mantle near the core-mantle boundary. Using over 16 million ...

It is critical to always be aware of how material anisotropy might affect a design. A case in point is how anisotropy played a part in an individual getting injured when he tried to loosen the ...

Seismic anisotropy, the intrinsic property of elastic materials that produces the directional dependence of seismic wave speed and polarization has been observed in many regions of the Earth's ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...
