The shift in polarity marks the point at which the sun is halfway through solar maximum, the height of its activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum. The sun's magnetic field ...

As the time line at right shows, hundreds of times in our planet's history the polarity of the magnetic shield ensheathing the globe has gone from "normal," our current orientation to the north ...

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered that cosmic-ray showers seem to play a pivotal role in ...

Merging some esoteric physics principles with an advanced instrument creates a magnetic microscope with resolution better ...

Controlling this state paves the way for the creation of more intelligent, reconfigurable and energy-efficient devices that mimic the brain.

The use of a ferroelectric tunnel junction to control the spin polarization of adjacent magnetic electrodes promises a new approach to the use of interface effects for low-power-consumption ...

How those choices are made will determine success in their targeted markets. MRAM basics — two flavors MRAM uses magnetic polarization to store bits. The state of a bit cell depends on the ...
