By controlling magnetic fields using light, a team of researchers led by NTU scientists has solved a long-standing challenge ...

The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was discussing in the year 1820 about the possibility of electricity and magnetism being associated to one another, and in the process presenting it finally ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Explore the fascinating physics behind current loop torque and how it interacts with magnetic fields in this detailed video! Learn how electric currents in loops generate forces and torques, ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have been asked to conduct a study on high-magnetic-field science and technology. The primary goal of the Committee on the Current Status ...

Electromagnetic fields as they would be generated by positive and negative electric charges, both at rest and in motion (top), as well as those that would theoretically be created by magnetic ...
