One strategy for identifying domains involves shining a light across the material in one direction and then again in the ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

However, this new paper outlines evidence of chorus waves within relatively flat regions of the magnetosphere—ones not influenced by magnetic dipoles. This suggests that chorus waves can also be ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

The findings have significant implications for studying space weather and the relationship between the Sun and the Earth's ...

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al. 1988).

They are usually detected in areas of space where Earth’s magnetic field resembles that of a giant bar magnet (a dipole), out to around 51,000 km above Earth’s surface, beyond geostationary ...

During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, "the sun's ...
