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 ...

Their magnetic sense is so sharp it can even detect small changes in the planet’s magnetic field, acting as a natural map no matter how far they’ve wandered. Salmon migrations are not just feats of ...

In terms of both magnetic field strength and homogeneity, the new configurations clearly outperform the classical Halbach arrangement as well as its modifications described in the literature.

Scientists uncover magnetic-field control of ultrafast spin dynamics in 2D ferromagnets by Zhang Nannan, Chinese Academy of Sciences edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

A growing body of research suggests that certain animals can perceive natural cues invisible to humans, such as magnetic fields, seismic vibrations, and subtle atmospheric shifts, allowing them to ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European ...

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.

We present an adaptive cross approximation (ACA) strategy for the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE), where an application of the standard ACA strategy can suffer from early convergence, in ...

Earth’s Magnetic Field Nearly Collapsed 600 Million Years Ago. Then, Weird and Complex Life Evolved A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic field weakened ...
