Researchers at California Polytechnic State University have shown that varying a magnetic field over time can generate exotic quantum states with no static counterpart. The approach, called ...

The importance of the world’s magnetic field is difficult to understate. On the one hand, this magnetic shield is responsible for life forming on Earth in the first place, as it protects the surface ...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, ...

Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...

Scientists find strong evidence that magnetic fields shape the weather on distant exoplanets for the first time.

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements.

The job of a catalyst is to ultimately speed up reactions, which could reduce an hour-long process into several minutes. It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate spin ...
