Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

NASA’s IXPE space observatory has examined the polarization of X-rays from the supernova wreckage Cassiopeia A to learn more about its powerful magnetic fields.

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) ...

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity.. Over the past couple of years, solar activity ...

A new method enables researchers to analyze magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. It was developed by researchers ...

As co-author Jianfeng Zang explains, the microfibrebots are made by using thermal energy to draw magnetic soft composite materials into microfibres, which are then “magnetized and moulded to give them ...

A tool magnetizer uses a magnet with positive polarity to rearrange the electrons in the metal of a tool to align with the magnetic field of the tool magnetizer.
