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 ...

A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart developed a biohybrid micro ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

Given the importance of this gargantuan bar magnet in our day-to-day lives, it’s worth understanding how it works — and when it doesn’t. Since the magnetic field is sustained by geological activity ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions ...

Magnetic fields can effectively manipulate blood flow in the body, opening up the possibility of using magnets to treat cardiovascular diseases, a study by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced magnetic properties, surpassing even the widely used pure Fe-Co alloy.

Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or "vortion." The research, published in Nature Communications, allows ...

High-performance magnets are essential for energy conversion ... and modulation of electric polarization using magnetic fields. Here, the magnetoelectric coupling in polymer-based nanocomposites ...
