MIT scientists have snapped the first-ever images of individual atoms interacting freely in space, making visible the elusive ...

Interdisciplinary teams across the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) are using innovative approaches to push the boundaries ...

A recent experiment suggests that the sun, by emitting hydrogen, could be contributing to water formation on the moon's ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s magnetic field weakened and shifted during ... Conducting a complete numerical simulation of the entire 1,300-year excursion would be ...

As the simulation ... magnetic field is more than just a question of planetary history – it has implications for the planet’s climate and potential for life. A global magnetic field helps shield a ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." Magnetars are surrounded by the most powerful magnetic fields in the known ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

Controlling magnetism at the atomic level is key to future technologies, such as spintronics, which exploits both the charge and the spin of an electron, targeted drug delivery using magnetic ...

In the study, the researchers used a computer simulation to model this scenario. Until now, most studies of early Mars had relied on magnetic field models that gave the Red Planet an Earth-like inner ...
