Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

Numerous test-and-measurement applications require a high-frequency magnetic field. Oftentimes, high field strength is needed. Examples of such applications include bio-medicine research on the effect ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. As the end of spooky season approaches, the icy cold and darkness of ...

Scientists develop a robust experiment that shows human brain waves respond to changes in Earth-strength magnetic fields. Scientists develop a robust experiment that shows human brain waves respond to ...

Magnetars possess the strongest known magnetic fields in the universe, exceeding Earth's by a factor of one thousand trillion. The "no-hair theorem" posits that black holes only possess three ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...

Performance-driven measurement instrumentation requires low-noise, high-bandwidth linear front-end circuits that combine with equally well-performing A/D converters and clocking (Figure 1). Designers ...
