DR. O. HEAVISIDE has investigated (NATURE, April 19) the slow motion of a charged conducting sphere through a uniform electric field, in a direction parallel to the electric force of the field, and ...

For just over two years, a scalar magnetometer developed by Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has been on its way to ...

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

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Earth's magnetic field appears to be able to change direction around 10 times faster than was previously thought, scientists have discovered. By recreating the last 100,000 years of the field's ...

Christopher Davies receives funding from NERC. The Earth’s magnetic field, generated 3,000km below our feet in the liquid iron core, is crucially important to life on our planet. It extends out into ...

Earth's magnetic field is weakening and its north pole is shifting faster than previously observed, raising concerns about a potential geomagnetic reversal. Geomagnetic reversals, where the magnetic ...
