Magnetic fields as a research area encompasses theoretical, computational, and experimental studies of magnetic field generation, structure, dynamics, and interaction with matter across scales, from condensed-matter systems to astrophysical and cosmological environments. It includes investigation of classical and quantum magnetostatics and electrodynamics, dynamo processes in plasmas and fluids, magnetohydrodynamics, and spin- and orbital-derived magnetism in materials. Research addresses field topology, reconnection, turbulence, confinement, and transport, as well as applications in magnetic resonance, spintronics, fusion devices, particle accelerators, space weather, and precision metrology, often integrating advanced diagnostics, numerical simulations, and multi-scale modeling.
(Fe0.63Ni0.3Pd0.07)3P, or FNPP, is a magnetic material that exhibits complex magnetic structures even at room temperature. This makes the material of interest for spintronics, a field that could enable data processing with ...

Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was little more than a giant ball of gas and dust. Over the next few million years, this "solar nebula" underwent a huge transformation, flattening into a disk of matter that ...

Every year, millions of migratory birds travel between different geographical regions on Earth to find food, escape cold weather or reach safe environments to raise chicks. To determine which direction to fly, these birds ...
Within our solar system, Uranus is a geometric oddball. Its spin axis tilts more than 90° from its orbit, so it essentially rolls on its side through space. In contrast, Earth and other planets tilt only moderately or not ...

Astronomers may have just confirmed one of the quirkiest aspects of quantum mechanics: that seemingly empty space can alter the behavior of light. This phenomenon, called "vacuum birefringence," was first predicted nearly ...

High-energy particles in Earth's radiation belt can appear to spread out randomly, even when they are moving in a "predictable" way. This is because spacecraft observations naturally blur the fine-scale structure of the particle ...
