Sometimes the geologic record obscures evidence of these important reversals in field direction, but statistical techniques ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

In science fiction, the use of gunpowder-based weapons is generally portrayed as something from a savage past, with ...

It's a race against time (and magnetic decay) to preserve decades of cultural history stored on obsolete hardware.

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

A team led by Japan’s National Institute of Polar Research has identified four time windows in the last 160 million years where Earth’s record of magnetic pole reversals appears to be missing entries.

If you’re looking for fun (and surprisingly simple) science experiments to do with your kids at home, a new website created ...

Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons in alloys of two-dimensional semiconductors. This discovery opens up ...
