Fusion researchers have long known that powerful magnets are the key to turning star-like reactions into a practical power ...

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

The vestibular system, a set of structures in the inner ears that helps with balance, may grant the birds their special ...

When you get an MRI scan, the machine exploits a phenomenon called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Certain kinds of atomic ...

Quantum oscillations are typically found in metals, but finding this same “electron wiggle” within the bulk of insulators is ...

Physicists at Saarland University have developed magnetic field sensors that are breaking sensitivity records and opening up a whole range of potential new applications, from non-contact measurements ...

Brownian motion in the presence of magnetic fields and under non-Markovian dynamics lies at a critical intersection of statistical physics and applied mathematics. This field examines how charged ...

The things we can accomplish in the field of medicine are amazing. An ailment that would have been a death sentence years ago is now a very treatable problem, or even one we’ve gotten rid of ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through ...

Magnetic illusion: a long wire surrounded by a magnetic replicator generates a replica of the wire outside it. (Courtesy: Phys. Rev. Lett. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.177204) Physicists in the UK and ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...
