Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

Explore two effective methods for finding the magnetic field of a current-carrying wire loop. This short explains the reasoning behind each approach and shows how they connect theory with practical ...

Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

SBQuantum's quantum diamond magnetometer, as explained by CEO David Roy-Guay, is set to transform navigation and Earth ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
