Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...

The new magnetic sensor is inexpensive to make, works on minimal power and is 20 times more sensitive than many traditional sensors. A team of Brown University physicists has developed a new type of ...
