Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

A new study reveals a fresh way to control and track the motion of skyrmions—tiny, tornado-like magnetic swirls that could power future electronics. Using electric currents in a special magnetic ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

An international research team have observed “orbital pumping,” a new phenomenon in which orbital currents are generated from the precession of magnetization in magnetic materials. Microwave-induced ...

Professor of Clean Technology Colin Raston, who invented the vortex fluidic device for research at the Flinders Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Flinders University. The Earth’s ...

Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more ...

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

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 ...
