Magnetic fields stretched by plasma flows result in an increase in the field component along the plasma flow. Researchers from Tohoku University have been trying to find out how the ...
Implementation of a new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy platform will provide professors Nicolas Doucet and Steven LaPlante of Centre INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier with...
Most planets are surrounded by a magnetosphere – a plasma structure created by the planet’s magnetic fields controlling the flow of cosmic charged particles. Realignment switch Usua...
In a way we’ve developed this molecular window that can look inside a living system and extract a full metabolic profile, says Professor Andre Simpson, who led research into developi...
Scientists are eager to better measure the magnetic fields of individual atoms because they believe it will lead to a better understanding of material and biological interactions—mos...
The crust is the end-result of everything that happened during a planet’s history, so a lower density could have important implications about Mars’ formation and evolution, said Sand...
Such sunspots are a common occurrence on the sun, but are less frequent as we head toward solar minimum, which is the period of low solar activity during its regular approximately 11...
In the course of the talk, which was titled A Future Mars Environment for Science and Exploration, Director Jim Green discussed how deploying a magnetic shield could enhance Mars’ at...
Scientists with NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, mission study the electrons’ dynamics to better understand their behavior. As MMS flew around Earth, it passed through an ar...
Twist and turn: reconstruction of a magnetic vortex A new technique for taking nanoscale images of the magnetic properties of materials has been unveiled by researchers in Switzerla...
Much of the research has focused on homing pigeons, which are famous for their ability to return to their lofts after long distance displacements. Evidence suggests that pigeons use ...
Scientists from the Tomsk Polytechnic University’s Laboratory of Novel Dosage are developing a technology to control mesenchymal stem cells of patients. The novel technology implies ...
Magnetic brain: skyrmions could mimic the memory and learning. Efforts to emulate the way the brain is wired have led to work on “artificial synapses” as connections for use in “neur...
Now physicists Masaaki Yamada of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Ellen Zweibel of the University of Wisconsin-Madison have provid...
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) using the two National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors located in Livingston, Lo...
Now with the prospect of longer space missions, researchers are working to figure out what a lack of gravity means for our physiology – and how to make up for it. Freed from gravity’...
Subaru Telescope images reveal weather in Jupiter’s atmosphere in the mid-infrared. During our May 2017 observations that provided real-time support for Juno’s sixth perijove, we obt...
With the multiphotodetector arrays in the 10-meter prototype interferometer, the researchers demonstrated a laser power stability that was a factor of five better than what has been ...
Organs respond to injuries with the formation of new fibrous tissue, which can result in scarring. This process called fibrogenesis can now be monitored noninvasively on a molecular ...
What is the gravity on Mars? When applied to a spherical body with a given average density, it will be approximately proportional to its radius. These proportionalities can be expres...
Disruptive effect What Veronika Lambinet, Michael Hayden, Gerhard Gries and colleagues at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver have now done is to show that a ferromagnetic material...
Guan says this work is the first time that so many spectral bands, including visible, infrared, thermal, and passive and active microwave, and canopy fluorescence measurements have b...
The oscillating gravitational waves arise in a modified theory of gravity called bimetric gravity, or bigravity, and the physicists show that the oscillations may be detectable in fu...
For example, researches clearly show that astronauts undergo a significant drop in bone mineral density during space missions, but the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for su...
Up until now, scientists have not been able to fully map the magnetic field, but thanks to the Swarm mission, they now have a more complete understanding. It is also the first time a...
