A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

The new big thing in magnetics is altermagnetism, a form of magnetism that promises to power the next generation of ...

A University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist has made the first-ever measurement of the strength of the magnetic field inside Earth’s core, 1,800 miles underground. The magnetic field strength ...

"When the biggest and heaviest stars are born, we know that magnetic fields play an important role. But just how magnetic fields affect the process is a subject of debate among researchers. So we need ...

Space probes utilize magnetometers to measure magnetic fields in space, providing crucial data on celestial bodies' composition and interiors. Magnetometers function through various methods, including ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables ...

Physicists have developed a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint magnetic fields. At the heart of the superconducting quantum interference device are two atomically thin layers of ...

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