Scientists have discovered microscopic magnetic fossils, potentially revealing how ancient marine life navigated vast oceans using Earth's magnetic field.

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to ...

Fusion power may be a more realistic prospect than you think. As Motherboard reports, researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that a new magnetic ...

On September 22, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Steady High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL) sustained the strongest magnetic field using a resistive magnet, at 42.02 tesla. This surpasses the ...

Scientists at the Florida State University-based National High Magnetic Field Laboratory just created what they claim to be the world’s strongest magnetic field using a toilet paper roll-sized magnet ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

The magnetic field lines of a bar magnet can be viewed by using compasses or by shaking iron filings onto a platform above the magnet. Place the magnet on top of the paper in view of the document ...

This means that their magnetism is there all the time and cannot be turned on or off as it can with an electromagnet. Converting a magnet to a non-magnet is called demagnetisation. Magnets are made ...

Every so often—every 250,000 years on average—the Earth's magnetic poles reverse polarity. If such a reversal happened today, compass needles would point south rather than north. Here, view a computer ...
