Is it magic? Physicists at the University of Konstanz have successfully altered the properties of a material using light and magnons in a non-thermal manner. What if it were possible to temporarily ...

Earth’s magnetic field has flipped 171 times over the last 71 million years, with the last reversal about 780,000 years ago. A weakening magnetic field could impact satellites and GPS, but changes ...

The magnetosphere, formed by Earth's magnetic field, acts as a protective shield that deflects solar wind—the flow of charged ...

Experts warn that metal objects pose serious dangers near MRI machines due to their intense magnetic field. MRI (Magnetic ...

Remote-actuated magnetic robots, relying solely on the magnetic torque stemming from rotating magnetic fields, hold immense promise in biomedical applications. However, to precisely actuate magnetic ...

The poles can flip over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, and this can happen at random, with intervals ranging anywhere from 10,000 years to 50 million years or more. Around 41,000 years ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultra-high magnetic fields via ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

A magnetic-field-aided inertial navigation system (MAINS) for indoor navigation is proposed in this article. MAINS leverages an array of magnetometers to measure spatial variations in the magnetic ...
