We are all very familiar with the concept of the Earth's magnetic field. It turns out that most objects in space have magnetic fields but it's quite tricky to measure them. Astronomers have ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM ...

Increased auroral activity will likely result from geomagnetic storms Friday and Saturday amid “influence” from a coronal ...

The researchers used mathematical models based on the Dirac-Weyl equation to simulate how an electron in a graphene sheet ...

Mapping magnetic domains at BESSY II Palau, her student Aleix Barrera, and Sergio Valencia have now investigated this at the XPEEM experimental station at BESSY II. They placed a cobalt rod in the ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

Most people have heard about quantum computers, but quantum sensors? I've just come across those as Bosch is developing ...

Researchers are now advocating using electric fields to do this switching. For this, electric fields have an advantage, since they're more amenable to controlling magnetic devices than are ...

as the magnetic field to be detected would be amplified at the center of these systems. Mapping magnetic domains at BESSY II Anna Palau, her student Aleix Barrera, and Sergio Valencia have now ...
