Dive into Part 2 of our series as we demystify the magnetic dipole–dipole force on a current loop. This video explains the underlying physics, step-by-step calculations, and practical examples to help ...

Welcome to Part 1 of our series on vector magnetic fields in dipole–dipole interactions! In this tutorial, we break down the fundamentals of calculating magnetic fields generated by interacting ...

The American Nurses Credentialing Center has awarded 650 hospitals worldwide with the prestigious “Magnet” designation, but only six hospitals have earned the recognition seven times. Becoming a ...

You may have seen headlines or social media posts talking about a weakening of Earth’s magnetic field, specifically over the South Atlantic. It sounds dramatic, and a little scary. Is Earth losing its ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a stable magnetic field.

If you grew up around some of the earlier models of televisions and computers, you may have received at least one sternly-worded warning to never place a magnet near them. These warnings still persist ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they are ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves that carry information without electrical current. These magnetic waves can ...

A team of engineers at the University of Delaware has discovered a novel way to link the magnetic and electric worlds of computing – a breakthrough that could one day enable computers to run faster ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth's magnetic field is like an invisible shield that protects our planet from solar and cosmic radiation. While it might not be ...
