The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Step into a world so tiny, it defies imagination -- the nanoscale. Picture a single strand of hair, now shrink it a million times. You've arrived. Here, atoms and molecules are the architects of ...

Scientists from Oxford University finally explain why some Moon rocks show intense ancient magnetism. Titanium-rich rocks caused brief bursts in the lunar magnetic field.

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have found that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was not steady and long-lived but instead flickered on and off in brief, intense bursts tied to titanium-rich ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

Between 1.0 and 3.6 billion years ago, many studies suggest the Moon either had a very weak magnetic field or none at all.

Researchers Deepak Singh and Carsten Ullrich from the University of Missouri's College of Arts and Science have discovered a new type of quasiparticle found in all magnetic materials, regardless of ...
