The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox ...

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 ...

Spectacular displays of the Northern Lights have been seen over recent nights with the potential for more to come.

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 ...

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 ...

If you work on (or under) a vehicle, there's a need for proper lighting, and these are all particularly useful.

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 ...

3. Solar cycle: The sun has a magnetic field with north and south poles similar to a bar magnet. The magnetic field exists due to the constant movement of electrically charged particles within the Sun ...

Horage hopes to help independent watchmakers produce watches priced at around $2,500 using advanced components that are ...

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

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...
