Theoretical models predict that the magnetic fields in a dusty disc surrounding a young star will slow the disc’s rotation, allowing dust to fall onto the star, thus helping it to grow.

3D print of polymer bonded rare-earth magnets, and 3D magnetic field scanning with an end-user 3D printer. Applied Physics Letters, 2016; 109 (16): 162401 DOI: 10.1063/1.4964856; ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform ...

Magnetic fields lines are invisible but they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work on magnetic materials, and where they can attract or repel other magnets.

Toshiba projects that this technology could enable 10 Tbpsi magnetic recording (current products are up to 1.2 Tbpsi today), and substantially increase hard disk drive capacity.
