For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Deep beneath the surface of the sun lies a razor-thin transition zone called the tachocline. Despite being only a sliver in size, the tachocline is believed to be the engine room of the un’s magnetic ...

Yale researchers may have solved a longstanding puzzle as to why certain metallic meteorites show traces of a magnetic field — a finding that may shed light on the formation of magnetic dynamos at the ...

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to the creation of a planet’s magnetic fields, which protect the entire planet ...

Antiferromagnetic (AF) materials are made up of atoms or molecules with atomic spins that align in antiparallel directions of their neighbors. The magnetism of each individual atom or molecule is ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...
