When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of ...

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

For many wild animals, this is not a fantasy—it’s a breathtaking reality. Some creatures possess an almost supernatural ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field, guiding them on amazing journeys ...

Scientists have known for a while that Mars currently lacks a magnetic field, and many blame that for its paltry atmosphere – with no protective shield around the planet, the solar wind was able to ...

However, most of these theoretical works did not consider the effects of magnetic fields on this spectrum. "Next-generation gravitational wave observatories, like Cosmic Explorer, will be able to ...

How it works Artist’s impression of how an ultrafast disruption of superconductivity in a YBCO thin film triggers an abrupt magnetic field quench, setting off dynamics in a neighbouring magnetic ...

Earth’s moving interior generates our planet’s magnetic field, an invisible shield that helps protect us and our atmosphere from harmful energy coming from space. This magnetic field has a ...

Infineon has announced a series of three pin ASIL-B-compliant magnetic switch ICs for automotive use. "Developed in accordance with ISO 26262, the ...

On the outskirts of the Milky Way, one of the rarest kinds of stars in the galaxy has just become even more mysterious than ...
