How statistical physics illuminates sea ice, a key part of Earth's climate system - @theU

Since beginning to study polar sea ice at NASA in 1975, mathematician Ken Golden has helped document alarming shifts in seasonal variation, the thin crust covering the Arctic oceans. and Antarctica. There is far less ice now, and since then, the University of Utah scientist has spent most of his career applying statistical mechanics—the physics … Leer más

Researchers make a surprising discovery of magnetic interactions in Kagome-class topological magnets

Newswise — A team from Ames National Laboratory conducted an in-depth investigation of TbMn’s magnetism6snail6, a Kagome class topology magnet. They were surprised to find that the magnetic spin reorientation in TbMn6snail6 occurs by generating increasing numbers of magnetic isotropic ions as the temperature increases. Rob McQueeney, a scientist at Ames Laboratories and project leader, … Leer más
