For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be ...
