Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass trick it’s a shield that protects life and technology from harmful radiation. See how magnetic shifts, excursions, and anomalies impact satellites, power ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

The Ediacaran Period of Earth’s past was poorly understood, and the enigmatic fluctuations and magnetism could have been ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to ...

“Focused” magnet system consisting of two stacked rings, each with 16 FeNdB magnet cuboids (side length 20 mm). The inner diameter is 160 mm, and the magnetic field of 20 mT exhibits a homogeneity of ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...

Shape-shifting liquid metal robots might not be limited to science fiction anymore. Miniature machines can switch from solid to liquid and back again to squeeze into tight spaces and perform tasks ...
