The joint development team of Professor Shibata (the University of Tokyo), JEOL Ltd. and Monash University succeeded in directly observing an atomic magnetic field, the origin of magnets (magnetic ...

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

UPTON, NY—In the field of superconductivity—the phenomenon in which electrons can flow through a material with essentially zero resistance—the “holy grail” of discovery is a superconductor that can ...

If you need help visualizing magnetic fields, these slow-motion video captures should educate or captivate you. Flux lines are difficult to describe in words, because magnet shape and strength play a ...

Moroccan rocks suggest that what had been thought to be wild, random movements of continents was actually Earth's magnetic ...

For more than half a billion years, a giant magnetic anomaly buried in Earth’s ancient rocks has puzzled scientists. The strange data once appeared to defy the rules of geomagnetism, hinting that our ...

During the Ediacaran period, approximately between 630 and 540 million years ago, Earth has remained a persistent and ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...
