Our understanding of how a point-particle carrying a charge moves in presence of an inhomogenous magnetic field relied until now on two theories that were believed to differ. Scientists have now ...

The observation was conducted using the newly developed Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM (MARS) (1). This team had already succeeded in observing the electric field inside atoms for the ...

Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

The magnetic North Pole is on a journey toward Russia in a way that has not been seen before. The British Geological Survey (BGS) works with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ...

Yes, a spacecraft that has a net charge will feel an effect due to the “Lorentz force” while moving through a planet’s magnetic field. (English scientist Oliver Heaviside actually derived the effect ...

FROM time to time accounts appear of experiments on new kinds of steel which have been undertaken with the object of determining the most suitable material from which to construct a permanent magnet.

Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. Their detectors captured the gravitational waves created by the violent crash of two immense black ...

The U.S. Air Force is preparing to test a new pod-based positioning system that should be able to replace satellite-based GPS in an emergency. The system would look down—not up—for positioning data ...
