Crystals preserve ancient magnetic fields by capturing and locking in the orientation of magnetic minerals at the time of their formation, allowing scientists to study the Earth’s magnetic history.

The electrons in a twisted piece of graphene show a strange repeating pattern first predicted in 1976, but never directly measured until now ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...

Plagioclase crystals contain tiny magnetic minerals that preserve the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field at the time ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

This "nano-compass" allows the microbe to passively orient itself in Earth's geomagnetic field (Figure 2). These magnetic nanoparticles ... showed that magnetite crystals contained within the ...
