The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox and means that you are twice as likely to see the aurora in spring and autumn ...

Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, ...

RF coupling is one of the most important and tricky issues that RFIC designers always must confront while developing wireless ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

The iron-cobalt alloy is widely used due to its strong magnetic properties. However, there is a limit to how much their ...

When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how do ...

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies ... that Ir addition leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of Fe and Co ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...

Researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature. The research establishes PNRs as a unique class of ...

Scientists have long suspected that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs)—thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers ...
