Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

I just got back from a trip to Japan. While there I met with several people involved in public policy in Tokyo, visited my professor who advised me for my PhD at Shinshu University in Nagano Japan (Dr ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

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 ...

"As the magma cooled to form what is today the world's solid outer crust, magnetism was locked into minerals containing iron, such as magnetite." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

Although the magnetic field of Mars hasn't been in effect for billions of years, the evidence it left behind may suggest that the planet's core is entirely liquid. Magnetic imprints still exist on ...

A new kind of magnetism has been measured for the first time. Altermagnets, which contain a blend of properties from different classes of existing magnets, could be used to make high capacity and fast ...

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...
