A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use the Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. A research ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

June 5 (UPI) --Astronomers have successfully measured the shape of the magnetic field in the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere. Solar winds, streams of high-energy particles, ...

A magnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's Law of Induction to measure the flow of a fluid. Magnets outside the pipe create a ...

Could global positioning systems become more precise and provide more accurate details on distances for users to get from ...

High school students in Portugal programmed a small, inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer to measure Earth's magnetic field from the International Space Station. When you purchase through links on our ...

A new study by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the University of Leeds in England reveals that changes in the direction of the Earth’s ...

Scientists have the first direct evidence that the powerful magnetic fields created in off-center collisions of atomic nuclei induce an electric current in 'deconfined' nuclear matter. The study used ...
