Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

Insight-HXMT’s discovery of the fundamental electron cyclotron absorption line near 146 keV for the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J 0243.6+6124. Neutron stars have the strongest ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

The Sun is a magnetized star. Its magnetic field is essentially three dimensional and it occupies all layers of the solar atmosphere. However, routine measurements of the solar magnetic field have ...

For just over two years, a scalar magnetometer developed by Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has been on its way to ...

The growing strength, use, and complexity of superconducting magnets are leading to an increased need to characterize the fields they produce. Image credit: Shutterstock/3DStach This is a challenging ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a highly-sensitive magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurement system to understand the energy loss mechanisms in soft magnetic materials, which can be easily ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and memory.

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s ...
