Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when ...

A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla. The newly ...

The electrical fields produced within the body are a powerful diagnostic tool. Clinicians routinely use these signals to measure the function of the brain, heart, nerves, and muscles, providing ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

A new technique uses quantum sensors to enable precise measurements of magnetic fields in different directions. A new way of measuring atomic-scale magnetic fields with great precision, not only up ...

High school students in Portugal programmed a small, inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer to measure Earth's magnetic field from the International Space Station. When you purchase through links on our ...
