Although there have been dramatic advances in generating enormous magnetic fields, measuring these fields remains difficult. A non-metallic sensor based on a silver chalcogenide looks promising.

Quantum heat dynamics toggled by magnetic fields Scientists discover unknown mechanism of heat conduction in quantum material Date: March 19, 2025 ...

This is exactly what a Faraday cage does: It cancels an EM field by creating a second one in the opposite direction. Thanks to superposition, the two fields cancel and create a net field of zero.

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed.

January 16, 2007 A. stronomers announced Tuesday, January 9, the first direct discovery of magnetic fields in galaxies other than the Milky Way.. Timothy Robishaw, Carl Heiles, and Eliot Quataert ...

Engineers have long sought a comparable device that would direct magnetic fields in only one direction – something that would be incredibly useful in many technologies. Until now, however, the Lorentz ...

Last year, astronomers finally managed to examine a far sparser region of space—the expanse between galaxy clusters. There, they discovered the largest magnetic field yet: 10 million light-years ...

In the laboratory: Taner Esat from Forschungszentrum Jülich. (Courtesy: Forschungszentrum Jülich / Sascha Kreklau) Researchers in Germany and Korea have fabricated a quantum sensor that can detect the ...

This is the second of two interviews, to accompany my latest New Scientist feature on how birds sense magnetic fields. Thorsten Ritz was one of two scientists who blew this field of research open ...

But “for the part of the spectrum in between static electric and magnetic fields and infrared radiation, the generic term ‘electromagnetic fields’ is common,” it explains. That’s quite a ...
