Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

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 ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Finding an elusive elementary particle is more viable than ever after an international team of scientists conducted the first experiment to explore magnetic monopoles using the Large Hadron Collider.

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...

Roughly 42,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened dramatically during the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the atmosphere. In a peer‑reviewed study of ...
