A team of researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur have used extremely strong magnetic pulses to line up spins in a magnetic ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth is quietly sending out a slow magnetic heartbeat. Every seven years, a vast wave ripples through the planet’s liquid metal core, subtly ...

University of Minnesota electrical and computer engineering researchers have created a magnetic tunnel junction that can be switched by a pulse of light lasting one trillionth of a second--a new ...

Researchers taught young loggerhead turtles to associate certain magnetic fields with feeding, prompting a distinctive dance when they recognized the signal. After a magnetic pulse briefly disrupted ...
