The magnitude of this effective magnetic field is about 1 Tesla, Zhu adds, making it comparable to that produced by the strongest permanent magnets. Driving the motion of a lattice of atoms. The ...

Magnetism can be a strange and powerful force. In an almost supernatural way, magnets stick to surfaces with no adhesives, which is why games like Etch-a-Sketch and Operation have fascinated ...

Particles that are larger than regular molecules or atoms yet remain invisible to the naked eye can form a variety of useful ...

A research team led by Prof. Xiaoqiang Huang from Nanjing University has achieved a major breakthrough in the field of asymmetric electroenzymatic ...

These rocks offer evidence that Earth had a strong magnetic field 3.7 billion years ago, but scientists aren't sure where that field could've come from. A 3.7-billion-year-old record of our planet ...

Earth’s magnetic field has behaved even more dramatically in the past, with the magnetosphere weakening so much that its polarity reversed. This flips the magnetic north and south poles, ...

Earth’s magnetic field was once 30 times weaker than it is today. This change may have played a pivotal role in the blossoming of complex life, new research found.
