The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion efficiency of electric motors. In electric motors, iron loss or magnetic ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped the magnetic polarity of active regions on the far side of the sun, which is invisible from Earth. Using helioseismology and data from the NSF-NOAA Global ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...

Repeated impacts can create minerals that lock in magnetic signals long after the Moon’s global field has disappeared.

Researchers develop a new computational model that helps identify origin of complex magnetization reversal in soft magnets.

Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale – 1000 times smaller than a human ...
