Water molecules turn out to be secret messengers for magnetism
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- A new study led by researchers at Tohoku University's Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, with National Taipei University of Technology, reports that water molecules can act as messengers for magnetism.
- Water is not usually considered a magnetic material.
- The source text is truncated, so the mechanism and measured details are not available here.
Why it matters
The finding suggests that water, which is not normally regarded as magnetic, can influence magnetic behaviour, which could matter for researchers studying magnetism in materials and in water-containing systems.
Who’s affected
- materials scientists
- chemists studying water and magnetism
