Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have experimentally confirmed a decades-old theory ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

MP Materials has chosen Northlake, Texas, for its $1.25 billion rare earth magnet factory as the U.S. rushes to secure ...

Old Apollo rocks are providing a fresh take on the moon's magnetic field. The lunar magnetic field is currently weak or even ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

Magnets can attract or repel without even touching, but how does that happen? This video explains how magnetic fields work and why magnets are found in so many everyday objects. A simple and visual ...

Their study challenges the longtime belief that the moon's magnetic field remained strong for long stretches of time.

Rocks from the Apollo missions show there was strong magnetism on the Moon, but researchers now believe these rocks mark extremely rare increases in magnetic strength. As models have long suggested, ...

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...

This river looked calm from the surface, but it’s much deeper than it appears. We decided to start throwing magnets just to see what might be sitting below. The first few casts were quiet. Then one ...
