Increasing the size of the magnetic field (red horizontal arrows) applied to rod-like viruses during self-assembly produces thicker, larger disks. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10. ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital motion ...

DR. O. HEAVISIDE has investigated (NATURE, April 19) the slow motion of a charged conducting sphere through a uniform electric field, in a direction parallel to the electric force of the field ...

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, is the first to venture into a ...

Geophysicist Daniel Lathrop wants, among other things, to use it to predict when the Earth’s magnetic field will next reverse. ... With the sphere spinning at 45 miles per hour, ...

A research team led by Prof. Sheng Zhigao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, ...

The team will continue to research the magnetic fields, namely capturing the third dimension of the magnetic field. Getting a 3D view is particularly important for understanding how the corona is ...

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery ...

The history of magnetism on Mars remains a critical field of study since it is closely tied to the planet’s potential capacity for life billions of years ago. Mars’ magnetic field was once generated ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is why we are here today. It protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and many other cosmic events. It is generated in the liquid outer core of our planet ...
