The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials.

Martin told me she would army crawl up to the turtles on the sand and dab around their eyes with a foam swab, soaking up the ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic ...

Scientists released an updated version of the World Magnetic Model (WMM) because they needed to adapt to these continuous ...

This heat drives convection cells within the liquid core, which keeps the liquid metal moving through the magnetic field. The so-called Coriolis force also plays a role in sustaining the ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

It has an invisible magnetic field. Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and sizes. Bar magnets and horseshoe magnets ...

Gravitational forces that make things fall down to the ground – unless another force stops them. An apple falling from a tree falls straight down. A ball thrown up, comes back down. And so do we ...

Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique ... MFM is based on the detection of magnetic interactions between a magnetized probe tip and the magnetic fields emanating ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the wire, similar to that surrounding a bar magnet. Magnets are ...

These fields were found to work on microrobots ... More information: Yasin Cagatay Duygu et al, Real-time teleoperation of magnetic force-driven microrobots with a motion model and stable haptic ...
