While there are plenty of clever DIY hacks to organize your garage tools, this magnetic solution might be the best. Plus, ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of ...

Electric and magnetic fields are important factors to be considered when designing transmission lines. They occur in nature and have become much more prevalent in our everyday lives through man-made ...

At first glimpse, it may seem like infant stars and supermassive black holes have very little in common. Infant stars, or "protostars," haven't yet gathered enough mass to trigger the nuclear ...

Earth's magnetosphere is a guiding beacon for a variety of species capable of sensing its presence. Physicists have now discovered two types of sensors in animals that can detect magnetic fields close ...

Birds don’t just follow landmarks or the stars—they might actually see Earth’s magnetic field. Scientists have uncovered a surprising quantum secret hidden in their eyes.

“In contrast to the conventional expectation that chorus waves are governed by planetary magnetic dipolar fields, we report observations of repetitive, rising-tone chorus waves in the terrestrial ...
