Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is one of the modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). As the name implies, it is used to map magnetic characteristics. MFM investigates the local magnetic fields at ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Voyager 2, NASA's legendary interstellar probe, continues to deliver. Thirty-one years after the spacecraft cruised past Uranus, researchers have capitalized on the spacecraft's recordings to take a ...

An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 412th Test Wing’s 416th Flight Test Squadron performs a fly-by of the air control tower at Edwards Air Force Base, California, The fact that GPS is vulnerable to ...

Military leaders have been warning of the fragility of GPS for years and researchers have been working on a variety of solutions, from quantum clocks to inertial navigation. The Air Force is adding a ...

After binding DNA segments to tiny iron-containing spheres called nanoparticles, researchers have used magnetic fields to direct the nanoparticles into arterial muscle cells, where the DNA could have ...

From cardiovascular disease to cancer to gastrointestinal tract conditions, the incredible strength of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) rare earth magnets is opening up exciting new opportunities for ...

Bioengineers have demonstrated that a gel-like material containing tiny magnetic particles could be used to manage chronic pain from disease or injury. Broadly, the study demonstrates the promising ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...
