Photo © Zhe Wang Due to the Corona pandemic, this year´s EMFL award ceremony took place less festive as usual. This time, Dr. Zhe Wang, junior group leader at the University of Cologne, had the honor to receive the prize. Due to the unusual circumstances, Jochen Wosnitza, Director of [...]
Photo © Jake Ayres Experimental physicist Jake Ayres, a former PhD student at HFML, has been awarded a two-year fully funded EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship to determine whether the elusive origin of high-temperature superconductivity can come from a newly revealed incoherent variety of electrons. “Using the high fields at [...]

Matsuda, IMGSL-ISSP Kashiwa, University of Tokyo. 40 years ago, Prof. Chikazumi launched a project to realize extremely high magnetic fields by using electromagnetic flux compression (EMFC) at ISSP, and the project was taken over by Profs. Miura and Takayama. In 2018, a magnetic [...]
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 27th International Conference on Magnet Technology (MT27) which will be held at Fukuoka International Congress Center, Fukuoka, Japan from November 15 to 19, 2021. Before the conference, an outreach event including public lecture will also be held on November 14 [...]
Shanghai, the largest city in the mainland of China, is one of the four municipalities directly under the central government. It is the economic, financial, trade and shipping center of the mainland of China. The world record association of China has created and broke many of the world's most [...]
For nearly 50 years, researchers from around the world have converged in Boston for the preeminent materials event of the year—the MRS Fall Meeting. This fall, the materials community will come together once again, in a new format indicative of our times. Due to the state of the COVID-19 [...]
Sergei Zvyagin, HLD Dresden. Spin systems with honeycomb structures are attracting a great deal of attention, in particular in connection with the famous Kitaev-Heisenberg model. This model predicts a variety of magnetic phases, ranging from the conventional Néel state to a quantum spin liquid, with the spin dynamics determined [...]
William Knafo, LNCMI-Toulouse, Shingo Araki, Okayama University, and Daniel Braithwaite, CEA-Grenoble. The mystery of the hidden-order (HO) phase in the correlated electron paramagnet URu2Si2 is still unsolved. To address this problem, one strategy is to search for clues in the subtle competition between this state and neighboring magnetically ordered [...]
A. Akrap, University of Fribourg, A. V. Pronin, Universität Stuttgart, and M. Orlita, LNCMI-Grenoble. Experiments have demonstrated many gapless electronic phases with conical bands. These phases exist within diverse classes of systems comprising graphene and many different topological materials. Low-energy excitations in such conical bands somewhat resemble truly relativistic [...]
