RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Scientists learned that Earth's magnetic field changes faster than previously thought The magnetic field protects Earth from radiation caused by cosmic rays The magnetic field changes direction by ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered how a compass works? Traditional compasses (not the digital kind found in smart phones and other devices) are tools that take advantage of a natural feature of ...

Pushing the limits of how we see and manage magnetic behavior in tiny structures is key to developing future technologies, especially in electronics that use the spin of particles-a property related ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Modern technologies like GPS and cell signal triangulation have made ...

Earth's magnetic field appears to be able to change direction around 10 times faster than was previously thought, scientists have discovered. By recreating the last 100,000 years of the field's ...

Figure 1: Bilateral sectioning of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve does not affect magnetic compass orientation in European robins. The second alternative explanation is that cluster N ...

Two different mechanisms are found to be responsible for the direction-dependent flow of electrons in chiral magnets Figure 1: The arrangement of electron spins in a chiral magnet resembles a spiral ...
