The successful demonstration that magnetic flux lines in a superconductor can be moved by time-dependent drives instead of spatially asymmetric structures suggests a versatile new approach to control ...

With a newly developed neutron tomography technique, researchers have been able to map for the first time magnetic field lines inside materials at the BER II research reactor. Tensorial neutron ...

(Left) In a magnetic field of moderate magnitude, magnetic flux lines penetrate in the form of defects accompanied by vortices of superconducting currents. (Center) Conceptual diagram of the ...

Ever since magnetic monopoles were first predicted by Paul Dirac in 1931, physicists have looked in vain for these elusive entities in everything from particle accelerators to Moon rocks. Now, two ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Jupiter’s magnetic field is profoundly different from that of all ...

If you need help visualizing magnetic fields, these slow-motion video captures should educate or captivate you. Flux lines are difficult to describe in words, because magnet shape and strength play a ...

Researchers in the UK and France have measured the charge and current of “magnetic monopoles”, which were recently shown to exist in materials called spin ices. While the team didn’t actually create ...

(Nanowerk News) Weak fluctuations in superconductivity, a precursor phenomenon to superconductivity, have been successfully detected by a research group of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech).

Measuring magnetic fields inside samples has only been possible indirectly up to now. Magnetic orientations can be scanned with light, X-rays, or electrons - but only on the surfaces of materials.
