Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

The team behind this research reached that conclusion when they detected a helix-shaped magnetic field within a protostellar ... after last year's supercharged solar storm — and it's probably ...
