For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

Recently, with the help of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, a research team led by Professor SHENG Zhigao at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for ...

Voyager 2 data from Uranus and Neptune revealed their magnetic fields are non-dipolar and disordered, a stark contrast to the dipolar fields observed on Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. Astronomer Burkhard ...

Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, has a magnetic field that has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent observations indicate that this magnetic field is weakening, prompting ...

Every new generation of eyes sees a new version of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This Impressionistic swirl of color represents the churning magnetic fields in giant dust clouds near the center of the ...

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...
