From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale – 1000 times smaller ...

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns.

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Earth’s magnetic field nearly collapsed long ago. What saved it explains why life survived and why the planet remains ...

Key learning points Properties of magnets What are magnetic fields? Magnetic fields lines are invisible but they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work on magnetic materials, ...
