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 ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

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 ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

NASA’s IXPE captures the first X-ray polarization data from a white dwarf system, detailing observations of EX Hydrae and ...
