A new study by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the University of Leeds in England reveals that changes in the direction of the Earth’s ...

Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle-like properties and can be moved efficiently by electrical currents. These properties make skyrmions an excellent ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems has crossed two thresholds that fusion watchers have been waiting on for years: a giant ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

Available at no cost, the online simulation resource offers high accuracy and configurability for magnetic position-sensor design, covering both linear and rotary modes of operation. In order to ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Magneto-optical microscope image of a skyrmion, which is the dark spot marked by a blue circle, in a ring of magnetic material. The spatially resolved pinning potential, which determines the special ...

A new study by the University of Leeds and University of California at San Diego reveals that changes in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field may take place 10 times faster than previously ...
