Some inventions are so simple that it’s hard to improve them. The magnetic compass is a great example — a magnetized needle, a bit of cork, and a bowl of water are all you need to start navigating the ...
NOAA scientists have spent decades tracking how magnetic north wanders, but recent modeling shows a pole moving in ways ...
Artist's depiction of a new strategy for measuring the direction of magnetic fields by exposing a cell containing roughly a hundred billion rubidium atoms to a microwave signal. A team of physicists ...
The North Magnetic Pole is not standing still, and the latest shift is already pressuring defense, aviation, and tech systems ...
For the first time in nearly a century, physicists have identified a brand new type of magnetic material. Crack open a physics textbook and you may read that scientists classify magnetic materials ...
