Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that can penetrate spacecraft shielding and destroy important systems.

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still ...

Understanding the Mystique of Magnetic Pole Shifts Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new solutions for data storage, data transmission, and quantum computers.

Within curved dipoles, such as common bar magnets and planetary magnetic fields, electrons belched out by the sun are typically trapped along magnetic field lines. Typically, particles move along ...

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al. 1988).

Chinese researchers detected audible electromagnetic waves over 62,000 miles from Earth in a region where they weren't expected.

It was widely believed that they only occurred near Earth's dipole magnetic field regions. The team, which consists researchers from China, the United States and Sweden, has analyzed vast amounts ...
