Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

And that’s exactly what happened, at least some of the time. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were caught, off Florida’s Gulf Coast, they swam in ...

What Will Happen When the Earth’s Magnetic Field Begins to Reverse? On the University of Maryland campus, a giant whirligig tries to predict the planet’s next big flip Haley Edwards May 2014 ...

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, has always been abundant in Earth's crust, but elemental diatomic ...

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.

"Remarkable" new model of quantum double-exchange ferromagnets could produce fresh insights into these ...

A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

Giant magnetoelectric (ME) effects have been investigated recently in composites of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric materials. The usage of highly strictive piezoelectric and magnetostrictive ...

We present a general computation taking into account the slotting effect on the no-load magnetic field distribution in multipole surface mounted permanent-magnet motors (SMPMM). A new analytical ...

Medicare only covers transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy for the treatment of severe major depressive disorder (MDD). Medicare covers daily outpatient TMS therapy for up to 6 weeks ...

According to Weijia Kuang, a geophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre, this correlation could help us to know the evolution of life and how it is relevant to the interior process of the ...
