For the first time, scientists have used NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to directly measure the magnetic fields of PSR J1101−6101, a pulsar located within what is often referred to ...

A space thruster using superconducting magnets completed its first orbital tests and could someday propel spacecraft using ...

"It gives you acceleration without fuel." The post Scientists Test New Spacecraft Thruster That Uses No Fuel, Just Earth’s ...

Satellites will now be able to move without a single drop of fuel. A New Zealand start-up, Zenno Astronautics, has successfully tested a thruster that uses superconducting magnets to maintain ...

A surprising reversal in molten iron flow beneath the Pacific is giving scientists a sharper view of how Earth’s magnetic ...

An international research team led by DTU has developed a new magnetic material that features a stable internal magnetic structure, almost no external magnetic field, and retains these properties ...

Pigeons and other birds can do it. So can sea turtles and spiny lobsters, moths and mole rats, gray whales and big brown bats. Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Electric current is deflected by a magnetic field -- this leads to the so-called Hall effect. A surprising discovery has now been made: an exotic metal was examined and a giant Hall effect was found ...
