For decades, scientists have puzzled over why magnetic reconnection seems to occur at nearly the same speed in vastly different regions of space.

In this short science demo, I show off ferrofluid, a liquid packed with tiny magnetic particles. Using simple magnets, I ...

Science supply stores like Home Science Tools or Carolina Biological Online retailers like Amazon, where they're often sold as craft or hobby magnets Hardware stores, sometimes in their specialty ...

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the sun toward Earth. Here, it meets Earth's magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella. The Space Umbrella project ...

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release massive amounts of stored magnetic energy. It is widely thought to be the ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

The development of new technologies drives scientific discoveries, the development of new materials and their applications and is thereby essential to the U.S. leadership in the global competitive ...
