Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...

Now more than ever, permanent magnets and electromagnets play a critical role in today’s advanced applications. From high-performance electric motors to magnetic nano-machines and high-reliability ...

For the first time in the history of solar observation, NASA has made the Sun’s invisible magnetic behavior visible. Using footage recorded during a recent flyby, the Parker Solar Probe has shown the ...

When two probes orbiting the sun aligned with one another, researchers harnessed the opportunity to track the sun's magnetic field as it traveled into the solar system. They found that the sharply ...

An unprecedented mission to venture close to the sun has revealed a strange region of space filled with rapidly flipping magnetic fields and rogue plasma waves. These surprises are among just some of ...

Despite being relatively nearby, very few space probes have visited the solar system's innermost planet. Any spacecraft aiming to study Mercury must accelerate to incredible speeds, and that can take ...
