The movements within Earth’s molten core have been resisting efforts to understand them for a long time, but agreement between a mathematical and physical model has led two physicists to claim they ...

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

Researchers in South Korea have created magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin at room temperature. Spintronics, ...

UC Santa Cruz applied mathematicians produced the first self-consistent models of the Sun’s tachocline incorporating the ...

We are constantly immersed in magnetic fields. The Earth produces a field that envelops us. Toasters, microwaves, and all of our other appliances produce their own faint ones. All of these fields are ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

Archaeologists traditionally rely on finding organic remains for radiocarbon dating to pinpoint new finds in time, but often these are not found on sites dating over 5,000 years ago. As a result, ...
