A research team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

Researchers have found the first new type of magnet in nearly a century. Now, these strange "altermagnets" could help us ...

The poles can flip over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, and this can happen at random, with intervals ranging anywhere from 10,000 years to 50 million years or more. Around 41,000 years ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultra-high magnetic fields via ...

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an ...

“Focused” magnet system consisting of two stacked rings, each with 16 FeNdB magnet cuboids (side length 20 mm). The inner diameter is 160 mm, and the magnetic field of 20 mT exhibits a ...

A new approach to magnetic field homogenization Homogeneous magnetic fields can be generated over relatively large spatial regions through the targeted arrangement of permanent magnets.

A simple method for calculating the magnetic shielding performance of long finite-width 2-D-thick planar shields made of imperfect material is presented. The source of the magnetic field can be any ...

New models using Voyager 2 data show that separate layers in the planets’ mantles could be creating disordered magnetic fields.

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.
