Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they are ...

A restless state, known as a quantum spin liquid, could unlock new kinds of particles and serve as a foundation for quantum ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Yale researchers may have solved a longstanding puzzle as to why certain metallic meteorites show traces of a magnetic field — a finding that may shed light on the formation of magnetic dynamos at the ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...

Antiferromagnetic (AF) materials are made up of atoms or molecules with atomic spins that align in antiparallel directions of ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how those tool magnetizer/demagnetizer gadgets worked, [Electromagnetic Videos] has produced a pretty succinct and informative video on the subject. The ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...
