A major defense against everything space throws at us, Earth’s magnetic field may even protect the moon from damaging ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

This video explores the nature of magnets and how they create invisible magnetic forces. It explains the origin of magnetism, how magnetic fields are formed, and the role of electrons in generating ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...

Chinese scientists produced a steady magnetic field of 42.02 Tesla with a resistive magnet, or water-cooled magnet, on Sunday ...

Millions of people have a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, which causes the heart's upper chambers or atria ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Humans tend to take a lot for granted, even something as simple as ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Earth’s Ediacaran Period, which lasted from about 630 to 540 million years ago, has long puzzled scientists studying the ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...
