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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
