What If a Nonmagnetic Material Could Be Magnetic?
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Quantum information devices need particles to be synchronized in space and time. In nickel molybdate (Ni2Mo3O8), nickel ions (Ni2+) form a triangular array of tetrahedrons and octahedrons with opposing magnetic spins. Electric fields in Ni2Mo3O8 induce parallel alignment of the spins; this alignment changes with time, producing spin excitons.

The world's strongest ionizing terahertz radiation
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Terahertz waves, known as non-ionizing radiation, can turn into ionization radiation when sufficiently many terahertz photons are focused in space and time. A team led by scientists in Korea and the USA has created the world’s most intense terahertz pulses that can instantaneously ionize atoms and molecules and convert them into plasma.
