We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years.

To their surprise, when the model was allowed to run under these conditions, a tachocline emerged on its own. Even more revealing, the simulations showed that the magnetic fields produced in the ...

We are in the midst of a new era in space exploration, one in which everyone from NASA to Elon Musk's SpaceX have expressed interest in the idea of sending humans to Mars and even establishing ...

The early Universe hosted ultra-weak magnetic fields that still shaped cosmic structures. New simulations establish stricter limits on their strength. Magnetic fields that originated during the earlie ...
