American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate ...

Physicists have used a cutting-edge quantum computer to simulate a complex particle theory in two dimensions. Unlike ...

You may have noticed the large painted numbers (or alphanumeric in some cases) on either end of the runways. Have you ever ...

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

Discover how Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems is advancing microalgae robots for medical applications.

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 ...

They created a uniform magnetic field and repeatedly changed its direction. "We found that microalgal biohybrids navigate 3D-printed microchannels in three ways: backtracking, crossing, and magnetic ...
