Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

Some planets take the expression "you're your own worst enemy" to the extreme. At least, that's what astronomers found when ...

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

Did you know Earth's magnetic field is on the move? Recent studies reveal it's shifting at an astonishing rate—10 times ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth.

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

The iron filings stick out like a crew cut on the ends of the magnet but lie flat on the sides (click to enlarge diagram below). Because the iron filings become magnets themselves, their presence ...

Experiments predict that the AFM ordering will collapse above 80 GPa, but the mechanism of the high pressure magnetic collapse is still unknown. Using the combination of density functional theory and ...

Occasionally, the magnetic field’s north and south poles swap completely—a natural phenomenon that has taken place about 180 times in Earth’s history.

Field analysis of heavy metals in biological samples is essential for assessing their potential threats to human health. The development of portable pretreatment and detection devices is crucial to ...
