Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Something massive is happening beneath your feet right now, and most people have absolutely no idea. Earth's magnetic field, ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Earth’s magnetic field does not simply switch direction like a flipped light switch. It weakens, wanders, and reorganizes ...

Old Apollo rocks are providing a fresh take on the moon's magnetic field. The lunar magnetic field is currently weak or even ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous ...
