Earth’s magnetic field is more than just a shield against solar radiation—it’s a hidden force that influences global weather ...

Imagine waking up one morning to a world where compasses point south instead of north, where auroras shimmer across the ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the wire, similar to that surrounding a bar magnet. Magnets are ...

A new study suggests the extinction of Neanderthals nearly coincided with a shift in Earth's magnetic field that let more ...

“The instrument is, so to speak, the heart of the solar telescope, which is now finally beating at its final destination,” ...

Recently, a group of researchers discovered a novel way to achieve spin-valve effects using kagome quantum magnets.

How it works Artist’s impression of how an ultrafast disruption of superconductivity in a YBCO thin film triggers an abrupt ...

Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.
