Sensor array and magnetic actuation system guide and trigger the capsule, eliminating the need for onboard power.

Numerous test-and-measurement applications require a high-frequency magnetic field. Oftentimes, high field strength is needed. Examples of such applications include bio-medicine research on the effect ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

Research using 250,000 simulations and observations shows early Universe magnetic fields were incredibly weak, yet still ...

Researchers have developed a new method with which strong magnetic fields can be precisely measured. They use neutrons obtained from the SINQ spallation source. In the future, it will therefore be ...

The sun has a flair for putting on spectacular shows, and last month’s was a doozy. Images taken at various National Science Foundation-funded observatories caught our local star in the act of ...

A recent study published inScience Advances reveals that a temporary collapse of Earth’s magnetic field, known as the Laschamps Excursion, had profound effects on early humans. Drawing from ...
