Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for ...

The properties of magnetism have puzzled and intrigued humanity for as long as its existence, but its origins are often associated with ancient Greece. Magnetism's earliest chronicler in Greece, the ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

The joint development team of Professor Shibata (the University of Tokyo), JEOL Ltd. and Monash University succeeded in directly observing an atomic magnetic field, the origin of magnets (magnetic ...

Lunar swirls are beautiful optical anomalies on the surface of the moon that occur without any defined shape and exist in various sizes. These peculiar delights have puzzled scientists who tried to ...

New simulations suggest that the origins of the sun's explosive storms could lie much closer to its surface than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

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 ...

WHEN the proposal was first made to hold in Section A of the British Association at Hull this year a discussion on “The Origin of Magnetism,“ it was met with the criticism from eminent quarters that ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...

The observation was conducted using the newly developed Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM (MARS) (1). This team had already succeeded in observing the electric field inside atoms for the ...
