Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

Scientists have uncovered how tiny magnetic waves can produce electric signals inside materials, potentially transforming computing efficiency.

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...

John T. Heron is in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA. When most materials are placed in an electric field, their positive and ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...
