An international research team led by DTU has developed a new magnetic material that features a stable internal magnetic ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to low-energy control of spin textures for future computing devices. (Nanowerk ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, has a magnetic field that has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent observations indicate that this magnetic field is weakening, prompting ...

Table I. (Click to Enlarge) Roughness parameters after differing processes, from atomic force microscopy. Blood-contacting implants, such as stents, filters, and sutures, are part of a very special ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...

Researchers have discovered a novel mechanism called a 'microtube implosion,' demonstrating the generation of megatesla-order magnetic fields, which is three orders of magnitude higher than those ever ...
