What began as a routine materials characterization project became something unprecedented when three University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate students discovered data that, by all accounts, should not ...

A Husker research team led by Karrie Weber and Nicole Fiore is the first to identify new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle. The discovery provides key information for the sustainable deve...

Research in Nebraska is closely tied to two of this year’s Nobel Prizes in science. Physicist Christian Binek leads the EQUATE collaboration's work on the subjects of the physics award — superconducti...

The topological Hall effect (THE), a quantum phenomenon arising from the emergent magnetic field generated by a topological spin texture, is a key method for de

Magnetic force microscopy of gradient-induced CoPt films reveals that magnetic skyrmion size and density vary with film thickness, gradient polarity, and applied magnetic field. An increased skyrmion...

Using nitrogen-vacancy magnetometry, the authors visualize room-temperature stray magnetic fields localized at the edges of WS2 flakes. Their measurements reveal edge-specific magnetization consisten...
