Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

The Earth’s magnetic field briefly collapsed, leaving life on Earth exposed to increased solar and cosmic radiation. This ...

Research teams led by Prof. Zeng Changgan and Zhang Hui from the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

The NASA Transient Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACERS) mission was launched on July 23, aiming to study the interaction between solar wind and Earth's magnetic field using two satellites. One ...

UC Santa Cruz applied mathematicians produced the first self-consistent models of the Sun’s tachocline incorporating the ...

Contact systems physically interact with debris through means such as nets or harpoons and slow it down to a safe level for ...
