A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

Now more than ever, permanent magnets and electromagnets play a critical role in today’s advanced applications. From high-performance electric motors to magnetic nano-machines and high-reliability ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

Physicists have developed a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint magnetic fields. At the heart of the superconducting quantum interference device are two atomically thin layers of ...

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal.

The strongest magnetic fields on Earth that we can currently produce are courtesy of MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida, at their ...
