A new study by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the University of Leeds in England reveals that changes in the direction of the Earth’s ...

Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle-like properties and can be moved efficiently by electrical currents. These properties make skyrmions an excellent ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

Available at no cost, the online simulation resource offers high accuracy and configurability for magnetic position-sensor design, covering both linear and rotary modes of operation. In order to ...

The simulation also showed that these flares can be cyclical. The magnetic field energy wanes after a while, before eventually resetting and kicking off the process once again. This cycle of flaring ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

The team led by Dilip Asthagiri and Philip Singer of the George R. Brown School of Engineering had studied how nuclear magnetic resonance tools, commonly used in the oil industry to characterize ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

A multi-institutional team became the first to generate accurate results from materials science simulations on a quantum computer that can be verified with neutron scattering experiments and other ...
