"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has quietly rewritten one of fusion’s hardest rules, using subtle three ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

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

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

A team of researchers report a mechanical response across a layered magnetic material tied to changing its electron spin. This response could have important applications in nanodevices requiring ultra ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...
