This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Think of a particle, like an electron, not as a pinpoint location, but as a wave. This wave, called a wave packet, spreads ...

Quantum computing is moving out of the lab and into schools. Companies like SpinQ are making it easier for students and educators to get hands-on with this new technology. Their d ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

The early Universe hosted ultra-weak magnetic fields that still shaped cosmic structures. New simulations establish stricter limits on their strength. Magnetic fields that originated during the earlie ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...

China’s exports of permanent magnets rose to a six-month high in July, marking a second month of growth after the government pledged to accelerate export permit approvals for the rare earth derivative ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years. This has sparked many questions and concerns about the implications of such ...
