Unnatural look for nickel (Apr 18)

   Physicists have made a form of nickel that does not exist in nature.
   Xiaofeng Jin of Fudan University in Shanghai and colleagues in China,
   Italy and the US have made nickel with a body-centred cubic structure
   and shown that it is ferromagnetic. However, its magnetic properties are
   completely different from those of the naturally occurring phase, which
   has a face-centred cubic structure (C S Tian et al. 2005 Phys. Rev.
   Lett. 94 137210).
