Are atoms and molecules naturally and made to magnetically dipole aligned (how 
long does it last that they are aligned)? The proton and electron spin align 
with each other. I was wondering if there is a list of atoms/elements and 
molecules that are (solid, liquid, gas, etc). How are they aligned and un-
aligned as well (what does it take)? Thank you
