Controlled manipulation of fibers that are as thin as or even thinner than human hair is a real challenge. Despite technological development, the precise and reversible change of the microfibers' ...

Earth’s magnetic field has flipped about 170 times in the last 100 m years, and the next reversal is not a matter of if but when. Far from a cinematic instant catastrophe, a flip would unfold over ...

In high-pressure corridors, land managers still rely on rigid physical boundaries as the foundation and use electrified offsets as reinforcement. Texas A&M notes that a strong six-foot net-wire ...

A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field.

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

Learn how to visualize electric fields of parallel plates using Python. This step-by-step tutorial shows how to simulate field lines and understand electric field patterns—perfect for students, ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests and devices that purify cancer drugs. In an electric field, anything with ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Morning magnetosphere holds negative charge, not positive Equatorial region flips polarity; poles follow expected pattern New satellite data overturns long-standing space-weather theory ...

Several properties of subatomic particles have been deduced through experimentation. Extending this picture further is the Schrodinger wave equation and a recent video of an electron compiled from ...

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational ...
