Bizarre magnetic behavior that was predicted by a famous physicist more than 80 years ago has finally been demonstrated in the lab, according to a new study. The behavior of an electron in response to ...

New finding advances our understanding of complex topological quantum systems and could help in the development of next-generation memory and storage devices ...

Recently, observation of new topological magnetic structures represented by skyrmions is expected to provide new paths in constructing spintronic devices. In magnetic bubbles, although these are ...

Physicists investigated an unusual arrangement of three magnetic "swirls" - so called magnetic vortices - in a thin magnetic film. Their experiments unraveled the dynamic core movements of these ...

From building transparent potato guns to discussing why scientists are burning astronaut pee (seriously), YouTube channel Smarter Every Day has long been demonstrating the many ways science is ...

A new simulation based on the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment takes a closer look at how the liquid vortex created by the device generates a magnetic field. Researchers investigated the ...

Physicists in Europe and the US have developed a new technique for reversing the "core polarization" of the tiny magnetic whirlpools that exist in certain materials. The reversal, which can be ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Remember the term polar vortex? We have heard about it and felt that bitter cold arctic air during plenty of West Michigan winters, but what is a vortex and how does it work?? We ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 23, 2017 -- The massive, churning core of conducting liquids in stars and some planets creates a dynamo that generates the planetary body's magnetic field. Researchers aim to ...
