The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

A recent study published inScience Advances reveals that a temporary collapse of Earth’s magnetic field, known as the Laschamps Excursion, had profound effects on early humans. Drawing from ...

Sensor array and magnetic actuation system guide and trigger the capsule, eliminating the need for onboard power.

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

Numerous test-and-measurement applications require a high-frequency magnetic field. Oftentimes, high field strength is needed. Examples of such applications include bio-medicine research on the effect ...

Seismic studies reveal Mars may have a solid inner core. The result deepens knowledge of its evolution and lost magnetic field. Researchers have determined that Mars shares a structural similarity ...

The sun has a flair for putting on spectacular shows, and last month’s was a doozy. Images taken at various National Science Foundation-funded observatories caught our local star in the act of ...

Researchers have developed a new method with which strong magnetic fields can be precisely measured. They use neutrons obtained from the SINQ spallation source. In the future, it will therefore be ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was approved by the FDA to treat some patients with depression in 2008, and has since ...
