A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

Researchers have unveiled a new magnetic cloaking device that can render sensitive objects invisible to detection.

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Engineers at the University of Leicester have developed a new concept for a “magnetic cloaking device” that could shield ...

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a magnetic cloak device that hides or shields an object from external ...

As one of four fundamental forces in nature, magnetism is virtually everywhere in the world. Many technologies—hard drives, ...

In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be ...
