Magnetically steerable guidewires enable remote, minimally invasive navigation and precise tip control in complex vasculature. Scientists at Nankai University developed a dual-coil magnetic guidewire ...

Physicists have demonstrated that a slab of hexagonal boron nitride, acting as a built-in infrared light cavity, can suppress superconductivity in an adjacent organic material without any external ...

Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

One particularly well-known fact about the moon is that it doesn't have much of a magnetosphere to speak of. There's no blanket to protect it from the solar wind ravaging its surface, blowing away its ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Illustration showing the interaction of the solar wind (red) with Earth's magnetic field (blue, not to scale) Researchers have ...

Physicists weren’t sure why Moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions are more strongly magnetized than models predict ...
