In a controversial experiment, physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity.

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard ...

The Schuler period was important for the invention of the gyrocompass: Even Albert Einstein was involved in the development ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, the Moon's passage through Earth's magnetic field, or "geotail," does not lead to lower plasma densities. Listen to Story Scientists from the Space Physics Laboratory ...

This makes the small Central African country the ideal field site for AfriSAR, a campaign to test technologies that will lead to future space missions to measure forests from space. During two weeks ...

According to estimates, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated every day, indicating the need for highly efficient data storage solutions. Researchers have now developed a voltage-controlled ...

A material’s response to an applied magnetic field can be characterized as diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. Four-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes possess high energy ...
