Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

Recent progress in the fields of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magneto-optical rotatory dispersion (MORD) is reviewed and these techniques are contrasted with those of natural circular ...

The principle of operation of a wideband crossed-loop magnetic-field direction finder is studied by comparing the bearing determined from the NS and EW magnetic fields at various times up to 155 μs ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...
