In a groundbreaking study, scientists at Brookhaven National Lab uncovered a new phase of matter dubbed "half ice, half fire" ...

Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have developed an innovative method ...

The change of Earth's magnetic poles is a phenomenon that could have significant consequences for our planet and technological infrastructure. The weakening of the magnetic field exposes humans ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

The actively controlled levitation base uses a magnetic sensor to detect the changing field as the snail moves above it. It then varies the current going to the various coils to keep the snail ...

Hubble Space Telescope data show that the time taken for the planet to revolve around its axis is almost half a minute longer ...

"The solar wind squished Jupiter’s magnetic shield like a giant squash ball," O'Donoghue said. "This created a super-hot ...

Note that this magnetic field opposes the original change. For example, if a magnet is moved into a coil of wire, the induced magnetic field tends to repel the magnet back out of the coil.

Aurora lights on Uranus helped NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope measure the planet’s interior rotation rate, changing what astronomers know about how long a day is on the cold and windy world.
