The vestibular system, a set of structures in the inner ears that helps with balance, may grant the birds their special ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

A strange phenomenon native to the Sun’s environment was spotted in the Earth’s magnetosphere, likely evidence of reactions ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently accomplished a fusion power-related demonstration that could radically transform energy production in the future. The superconducting ...

Tokamak Energy’s Demo4 HTS magnet system has replicated fusion power plant magnetic fields at 11.8T, marking a key step ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum ...

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was among the first to propose the existence of a magnetic sense. His ...

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...
