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

Unlike conventional Hall sensors that only respond to the field component perpendicular to the device surface, the Type CSA-1 single-axis and the Type 2SA-1 two-axis sensors respond to a magnetic ...

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 ...

The team of researchers stimulated a turbulent magnetic reconnection in which the Sun's anti-parallel magnetic field collide, beak, and realign dramatically. Thus, this unleashes a huge amount of ...

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – A team of scientists led by University of Maryland physics professor James Drake appear to have solved a key remaining mystery about how the interaction of magnetic fields produce ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...
