The rapid loss of the magnetic field over North America is still unexplained but is linked to the shift of geomagnetic poles ...

Image of the laser-driven plasma expanding into the dipole magnetic field. Magnetic field measurements showing the location of the magnetopause are overlaid. Journalists may use this image only ...

Kiwi startup OpenStar's bold move to use levitating dipole reactor for fusion achieved a key milestone with its first plasma.

The plasma magnet drive with dynamic soaring is a system that could be plausibly scaled for human crewed missions up to 2-3% ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this as ...

No, that wouldn't matter, there is no ban on nuclear power (whether fission or fusion) in NZ, there is a ban on nuclear weapons, and a ban on nuclear powered ships entering NZ waters. Which will be ...

This suggested that the birds needed the magnetic field to be a certain intensity ... Moreover, Kirschvink notes that even if the main dipole field were to collapse—an event that can last ...

In response to a rotating magnetic field, the dipole moves like a compass needle, aligning all the beads along the same ...

Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so ...

The researchers have also demonstrated how observations of the rate of reduction of the sun's dipole magnetic field may be paired with sunspot observations to forecast when the current cycle will ...
