Recent progress in the fields of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magneto-optical rotatory dispersion (MORD) is reviewed and these techniques are contrasted with those of natural circular ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...
