But powerful magnets are usually large and energy hungry. Chukun Gao at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and her colleagues sought to build a small ultra-strong magnet that would ...

A liquid injected into the heart that sets like a gel could one day prevent strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, animal tests suggest.

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin ...

Animal studies often fail to predict human tissue responses to new drugs or newly developed therapies. Besides generating tremendous costs for clinical studies, it also raises significant ethical ...

Scientists have found the oldest direct evidence for tectonic motion on Earth by more than half a billion years ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

Magnetic crystals provide the earliest evidence yet of the plate tectonics that likely made Earth habitable, pushing its start back by 140 million years.

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets fabricated at EPFL’s Center of MicroNanoTechnology. (Courtesy: Mingran Xu, Dirk ...

Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense magnetic activity and often trigger solar eruptions—appear at mid-latitudes and ...

Scientists develop the first 4D-printed soft robots made from industrial sulfur waste that move autonomously when exposed to ...

For as long as scientists have been trying to understand the behavior of the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma, there have ...

A clear visualization of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and how the electric and magnetic fields rotate in space ...
