Two German physicists have unveiled a compact magnet layout that outperforms the famed Halbach array, delivering stronger, ...

Physicists created an imaginary magnetic field in real life. Researchers have used quantum light to create a magnetic field with a strength that is measured in imaginary numbers.

Life boomed on Earth half a billion years ago. You can thank magnets. The near collapse of Earth’s magnetic field coincided with a spike in oxygen levels and a boom in biodiversity, according to ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a mag… ...

Researchers developed a new method to assess long-term aging in real-world battery cells. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) team's approach relies on nuclear ...

Is Earth’s magnetic field crucial to the planet’s habitability? Did it enable the evolution of life? Scientists have pondered those questions for at least 60 years. 1 The geomagnetic field shields our ...

Life on Earth uses either chemical energy or light energy as a life-sustaining energy source. Both these energy sources provide roughly the same amount of energy for an organism to thrive. Louis Irwin ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to ...
