Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By ...

Two German physicists have unveiled a compact magnet layout that outperforms the famed Halbach array, delivering stronger, ...

Physicists created an imaginary magnetic field in real life. Researchers have used quantum light to create a magnetic field with a strength that is measured in imaginary numbers.

Life boomed on Earth half a billion years ago. You can thank magnets. The near collapse of Earth’s magnetic field coincided with a spike in oxygen levels and a boom in biodiversity, according to ...

Many of the magnets used in everyday life, like refrigerator magnets, are known as permanent magnets. In these materials, the magnetic fields of many atoms in the material have become permanently ...

Life on Earth uses either chemical energy or light energy as a life-sustaining energy source. Both these energy sources provide roughly the same amount of energy for an organism to thrive. Louis Irwin ...

Is Earth’s magnetic field crucial to the planet’s habitability? Did it enable the evolution of life? Scientists have pondered those questions for at least 60 years. 1 The geomagnetic field shields our ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to ...

Researchers developed a new method to assess long-term aging in real-world battery cells. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) team's approach relies on nuclear ...

Without the magnetic field, life on Earth as we know it would not be possible as it shields us all from the constant bombardment by charged particles emitted from the sun — the solar wind. (To ...
