Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties. Researchers in ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) is an extremely sensitive magnetometer that measures very subtle magnetic fields. It exploits the quantum mechanical properties of ...

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 ...

That's not to say current observatories can't do some preliminary work with strong magnetic fields, but given that HWO won't be launching for at least another 15 years, it might be a while before we ...

Earth is surrounded by an immense magnetic field, called the magnetosphere. Generated by powerful, dynamic forces at the center of our world, our magnetosphere shields us from erosion of our ...
