This video explains what magnets are and how magnetic fields are generated through the alignment of atomic structures.

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic ...

Protein crystallisation, a cornerstone technique in structural biology, is increasingly being refined through the controlled application of external electric and magnetic fields. By precisely ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

An anomaly that has been weakening the field for the past 11 years is showing signs of ballooning up and splitting apart.

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

During Thursday's "severe" geomagnetic storm that sparked the northern lights across most of the U.S., electrical currents surged through rocks under the ground around the country. A map from the ...
