New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that ...

A new technique uses a magnetic field to selectively separate tiny magnetic particles, representing a highly sensitive method for potentially diagnosing disease by testing samples from patients.

How do pigeons know where they're going while flying across vast distances? Researchers point to their inner ear system.

Explore the fascinating world of clean energy with this step-by-step DIY magnetic generator build. Learn how everyday items ...

Planetary magnetic fields are definitely related to rotation, but “directly” — not so much. They are actually generated by the complex interaction of fluid currents (motion of material) and electric ...

If you made a motor out of a magnet, a wire coil, and some needles, you probably remember that motors and generators depend on a rotating magnetic field. Once you know how it works, the concept is ...

A neutron star is the extremely compressed leftover core of a star that began life with between 10 and 30 times the Sun’s mass. Moving charges do generate magnetic fields, as you suggest; however, the ...

As Cassini continues its orbital finale around Saturn it has picked up on some interesting observations of Saturn’s magnetic field. Data gathered from Cassini’s magnetometer instrument have shown that ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the ...
