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

Scientists at TU Delft have unlocked a key quantum effect in graphene without using any magnetic fields, paving the way for ...

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) has addressed a 40-year-old quantum puzzle, unlocking a new ...

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

That’s the subtle magnetic force — generated by the planet’s molten metal core — that surrounds Earth, not unlike the force around a bar magnet.

As you may recall from Physics 101, a changing magnetic field (like when you slide a bar magnet through a copper coil) induces an electric current. At planetary scale, Earth’s magnetic field induces ...

This magnetic field is very similar to the field that is produced by a common bar magnet. It is called a dipole because it has two poles at either end of the magnet. These endpoints are where the ...

In order to track the Earth's magnetic field, scientists treat it as if it were produced by a bar magnet, and then compare ...

In order to track the Earth's magnetic field, scientists treat it as if it were produced by a bar magnet, and then compare those results to the actual observed magnetic field. However, it's harder ...

Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Birmingham A new route to materials with complex ‘disordered’ magnetic properties at the quantum level has been produced by scientists for the first time.

In fact, China debuted a hybrid resistive/superconducting magnet in 2022 that achieved a 45.22 tesla field. On the other side of the world, the US National Lab's mini superconducting prototype ...
