This chamber might not look empty—but in fact it’s missing something that usually permeates every space on Earth: magnetic fields. And it will help physicists in the quest for a unifying Theory of ...

Low-frequency magnetic fields can impact electronic devices, inducing unwanted current flows in sensitive paths that can add noise, introduce errors, and otherwise disrupt carefully balanced circuits.

Next to a nuclear reactor in Germany is a four ton, ten cubic meter metal box surrounded by lasers. The box is the most magnetically-shielded room ever built: the magnetic field inside is just a tenth ...

The Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...

Superconducting magnets, commonly found in MRI scanners, produce stronger, more efficient magnetic fields using smaller and lighter magnets than magnets made using conventional materials such as ...

One of the “quietest” magnetic environments in the Milky Way has been unveiled at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Built by physicists based in Germany, the US and Switzerland, the shielded ...

X-men’s Magneto isn’t the only who can shield magnetic fields. Spanish researchers have designed what they call the world's first "anti-magnet," a magnetic cloak that can act as a shield they envision ...

Indeed, could one kink in Earth’s magnetic field rewrite how scientists understand space weather? The recent detection of a ...

Warwick, RI — A.T. Wall Company has partnered with The MuShield Company, of Londonderry, New Hampshire, to develop M_Shield® seamless high permeability magnetic shielding tubing. The product is a ...

Far above the South Atlantic, a strange weakness in Earth’s magnetic armor is widening and slowly changing shape, forcing ...
