Any object with a magnetic field ... When the solar wind approaches Earth, it pulls at the magnetic field, distorting its field lines. Eric Donovan, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy ...

For example, an electric field is easily shielded by an object, such as a tree or a house, while a magnetic ... Earth’s atmosphere. These effects, along with the process of ionizing the air, use ...

The intriguing possibility arises because Earth’s magnetic field does not rotate with the Earth like a physical object. Instead, it is created at each instant and remains essentially fixed in space.

This flower-shaped geometry causes the field lines of an external magnetic field to concentrate in the center of the device, resulting in a greatly intensified magnetic field. The study is ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

The magnetic microstructure of the nickel-iron alloy leads to a compression of the field lines in the centre. (Image: A. Palau/ICMAB) Dr Anna Palau from the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de ...

A vast and evolving anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field, situated above South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean, ...

However, things are not as straightforward under extreme conditions such as temperatures close to absolute zero combined with strong magnetic fields, where strange quantum effects begin to dominate.

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

MANDATA — The Line Mountain School District’s property committee met this week to consider sports fields upgrades and make recommendations that will be brought before next Tuesday’s board ...
