Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

An ancient, well-preserved tree that was alive the last time the Earth's magnetic poles flipped has helped scientists pin down more precise timing of that event, which occurred about 42,000 years ago.

In recent research by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a groundbreaking discovery was made about braided magnetic flux ropes, which are found both in laboratory ...

In the last 50 years, a weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field has gotten bigger. This chink in the planet's armor of geomagnetic energy is located above the southern Atlantic Ocean, so scientists ...
