When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Something massive is happening beneath your feet right now, and most people have absolutely no idea. Earth's magnetic field, ...

Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Old Apollo rocks are providing a fresh take on the moon's magnetic field. The lunar magnetic field is currently weak or even ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

Earth’s magnetic field does not simply switch direction like a flipped light switch. It weakens, wanders, and reorganizes ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Learn how to simulate proton motion in a constant magnetic field using Python! This tutorial walks you through the physics behind charged particle motion, step-by-step coding, and visualization ...

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...
