It's long been known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental constant.

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown that by using DNA molecules as scaffolds, they were able to create superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of ...

It seems improbable that a satellite designed to monitor polar ice sheets and floating sea ice could accurately measure a disturbance in Earth's magnetic field. But that is just what ESA's CryoSat ...

A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla. The newly ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use the Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. A research ...

A quartet of researchers at IRAP, Université de Toulouse, has found a way to measure the interior magnetic field of red giant stars. In their paper published in the journal Nature, Gang Li, Sébastien ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...
