Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

A new material developed at Penn State defies a fundamental law of physics, opening doors to highly efficient solar cells.

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Neanderthals have long been the subject of intense scientific debate. This is largely because we still lack clear answers to ...

As you may recall from Physics 101, a changing magnetic field (like when you slide a bar magnet through a copper coil) induces an electric current. At planetary scale, Earth’s magnetic field induces ...

You probably don't worry about the Earth's magnetic fields too much, assuming you don't have to rely on a compass for navigation. The magnetosphere generally sits up there minding its own business ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds.

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map.

The maximum field tolerance of these MRAM devices is between a few tens of milliTesla, mT, to 100mT, depending upon the MRAM target application. 10mT in SI units is 100G in CGS units of magnetic ...

“We are entering a new era of solar physics research where we can routinely measure the coronal magnetic field,” said Yang. Using DKIST’s and UCoMP’s measurements together offers a more ...
