By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...
Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...
Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...
For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...
A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...
Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...
Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known ...
Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...
(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the ...
Fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even a few mammals rely on magnetoreception for navigation. But the exact mechanism ...
