Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s ...

Researchers have unveiled a new magnetic cloaking device that can render sensitive objects invisible to detection.

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a magnetic cloak device that hides or shields an object from external ...

A magnetic cloak works by diverting external magnetic fields so that, to an external observer, the object appears to be absent or invisible. Although this idea ...

It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a ...

Engineers at the University of Leicester have developed a new concept for a “magnetic cloaking device” that could shield ...

As one of four fundamental forces in nature, magnetism is virtually everywhere in the world. Many technologies—hard drives, ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Four-and-a-half billion years ago, Earth’s surface was a menacing, hot mess. Long before the emergence of life, temperatures were scorching, and the air was toxic. Plus, as a mere toddler, the Sun ...

Tests of glass samples gathered on Apollo missions show magnetization may result from impacts of objects like meteors, not as a result of magnetization from the presence of a magnetic shield. In 2024, ...
