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 ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

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 ...

Particles that escaped Earth’s atmosphere accumulated on the lunar surface over billions of years. Here’s what you’ll learn ...

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 ...

Scientists have long struggled to understand how common planets form. A new supercomputer simulation shows that the missing ingredient may be magnetism. We like to think of ourselves as unique. That ...

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 ...
