With the ability to detect and amplify extremely weak electromagnetic signals without adding additional noise, masers have ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself ...

Battle Quirks get all the hype, but “weak” powers like Anivoice and Dead Lock are secretly genius for real-world living.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach array, as [wannabemadsci] explains, allows you to make an array of magnets where one side is very strong, and the other side is very weak.

Researchers have developed a new technology that could help measure the invisible forces of magnetism-from inside the human brain to the depths of outer space-without needing bulky shielding or ...

The moon may be silent and still today, but billions of years ago, it likely crackled with magnetic activity. Though the moon now lacks a global magnetic field, its rocks—especially those on the ...

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity.. Over the past couple of years, solar activity ...

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Their starting assumption was that the early Moon had a dynamo that generated a weak magnetic field 50 times weaker than Earth's. The results confirmed that a large asteroid impact, ...

Type-I multiferroics have a weak magnetoelectric coupling, which means that they fail to effectively couple magnetism and electric fields. On the other hand, Type-II multiferroics exhibit a very ...

If there had been a gargantuan refrigerator in the early universe, it might have been plastered with little magnetic galaxies. That's because the first direct measurement of an early galaxy's ...
