Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

March 2024 may be the best month in the best year to see the Northern Lights, aka aurora borealis. That's because the sun is hyperactive, and the equinox can create holes in Earth's magnetic field.

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

Despite the fact that our universe is electrically neutral, atoms found throughout the universe can be positively charged nuclei or negatively charged electrons. When these charges accelerate, they ...

In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the magnetism and ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

Creating a map is as simple as drawing out a floor plan, and then walking around a location (a shopping mall) so that the magnetometer can build up a map of your surroundings -- both using apps ...

The surface of the sun writhes and dances. Far from the still, whitish-yellow disk it appears to be from the ground, the sun sports twisting, towering loops and swirling cyclones that reach into the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...
