A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

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 ...

Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that can penetrate spacecraft shielding and destroy important systems.

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

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

Understanding the Mystique of Magnetic Pole Shifts Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, ...

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

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 ...
