Scientists generate novel form of magnetism from graphene
A “eureka moment” is perhaps the best way to describe what a team of physicists from Stanford University went through after they discovered a property that, at first, only existed as a theory: orbital ferromagnetism. Orbital ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism caused by the lining up of the electrons’ orbital motions. According to the scientists […]

Research reveals: Humans have a “salamander-like regenerative capacity” to regrow cartilage in joints
According to a recent study by Duke University scientists, humans possess an uncanny ability to regrow cartilage in their joints, much like salamanders, which are known for their remarkable ability to recover from damage to their body. This process, according to a paper published in Science Advances, is linked to the presence of certain molecules in the […]

Experts: “Cataclysmic flare in the Milky Way felt 200,000 light-years away”
New research has revealed that a supermassive black hole located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy exploded 3.5 million years ago. The blast, scientists said, was so big its flare managed to travel through both poles of the galaxy. This prompted lead author Joss Bland-Hawthorn of the University of Sydney to compare the […]
