Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s ...

Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

March 2024 may be the best month in the best year to see the Northern Lights, aka aurora borealis. That's because the sun is hyperactive, and the equinox can create holes in Earth's magnetic field.

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

Florida State University researchers have created a new crystalline material with unusual magnetic patterns that could be ...

Creating a map is as simple as drawing out a floor plan, and then walking around a location (a shopping mall) so that the magnetometer can build up a map of your surroundings -- both using apps ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...
