A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown that by using DNA molecules as scaffolds, they were able to create superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

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 strength ...

A view of the center of our galaxy shows the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region, where cold dust (magenta) and warmer gas and dust (cyan) surround a cluster of massive stars. The stars generate high-speed ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla. The newly ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use the Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. A research ...

High school students in Portugal programmed a small, inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer to measure Earth's magnetic field from the International Space Station. When you purchase through links on our ...

A quartet of researchers at IRAP, Université de Toulouse, has found a way to measure the interior magnetic field of red giant stars. In their paper published in the journal Nature, Gang Li, Sébastien ...

Unlike conventional Hall sensors that only respond to the field component perpendicular to the device surface, the Type CSA-1 single-axis and the Type 2SA-1 two-axis sensors respond to a magnetic ...
