WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...

March 2024 may be the best month in the best year to see the Northern Lights, aka aurora borealis. That's because the sun is hyperactive, and the equinox can create holes in Earth's magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is crucial to keep its inhabitants safe and protected from harmful solar radiation. However, the ...

Flipping ferroelectric polarization reverses bimeron topology in a two-dimensional magnet, allowing voltage pulses alone to ...

A lab in China has produced the most powerful steady magnetic field in the world. The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, recorded a field strength of 45.22 Tesla (T) on ...

The Sun's magnetic field impacts the movement of plasma on the sun's surface, but it does not actually impact the amount of heat the sun emits. Solar flares, for example, are huge explosions that ...

Creating a map is as simple as drawing out a floor plan, and then walking around a location (a shopping mall) so that the magnetometer can build up a map of your surroundings -- both using apps ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...
