Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

UC Santa Cruz applied mathematicians produced the first self-consistent models of the Sun’s tachocline incorporating the ...

Everybody makes mistakes. Biology is no different. However, living organisms have certain error-correction mechanisms that ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

Magnetic illusion: a long wire surrounded by a magnetic replicator generates a replica of the wire outside it. (Courtesy: Phys. Rev. Lett. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.177204) Physicists in the UK and ...

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 ...
