If Earth’s magnetic field resembles that of a bar magnet, Jupiter’s field looks like someone took a bar magnet, bent it in half and splayed it at both ends. The field emerges in a broad swath across ...

A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

The magnetic field lines of a bar magnet can be viewed by using compasses or by shaking iron filings onto a platform above the magnet. Place the magnet on top of the paper in view of the document ...

Far above the South Atlantic, Earth’s magnetic shield is thinning into a vast, lopsided bruise that now sprawls across an ...

The physical processes behind the two phenomena are different. When heated, a permanent magnet loses its magnetism because its relatively well-aligned magnetic domains, which are tiny magnets, get ...
