Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Pioneering new research could help unlock exciting new potential to create ultrafast, laser-driven storage devices. The study, led by experts from the University of Exeter, could revolutionize the ...

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or ...

Recently, the Aditya-L1 mission captured a solar flare ‘kernel’ in the lower solar atmosphere. What is a solar flare? In ...

Any object with a magnetic field is a magnet — including the Earth itself. Like bar magnets, Earth has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole. The lines of Earth’s magnetic field ...

The reason behind this has to do with the solar cycle. Like a bar magnet, the Sun also has a magnetic field with north and south poles. The magnetic field exists due to the constant movement of ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

While Earth’s magnetic field resembles a bar magnet neatly aligned with its axis, these planets generate wonky, off-center fields that seemingly defy explanation, until now. A Berkeley physicist has ...
