The electrons in a twisted piece of graphene show a strange repeating pattern first predicted in 1976, but never directly ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

This confirmed the theory that Earth's magnetic field had flip-flopped through the planet's life, and it made Matthews and Vine's 1963 finding quite clear. They realized that the pattern of ...

A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart developed a biohybrid micro ...

The research team lets small particles, so-called colloids, flow in a magnetic field of a checkerboard pattern. The colloids are paramagnetic, so they only behave magnetically when they are near a ...

Engineers have developed a new computational approach to accurately model and predict the properties of a class of magnetic molecules called chiral helimagnets. Their work could accelerate the ...

Scientists have long been fascinated by special magnetic materials where atoms arrange their spins in a spiral pattern. These ...

The "butterfly" moniker is used because the emerging pattern, when plotted against energy and magnetic field, evinces an elegant and intricate configuration that resembles a butterfly's wings.

Researchers have developed a flexible screen inspired by squid that can store and display encrypted images using magnetic ...
