The European Space Agency's (ESA) Swarm mission has been tracking the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region of Earth's magnetic field weakness, for over a decade. Data from the mission reveals that this weak region has expanded rapidly since 2014, with significant changes observed in the
Magnetic fields
Researchers at the University of Oxford are revolutionizing our understanding of quantum mechanics by simulating the behavior of particles at near absolute zero. By using state-of-the-art techniques to trap and cool atoms, they are able to create a controlled environment for observing the strange and probabilistic world of quantum physics.
Superconductors
Researchers from Bratislava, Slovakia, have discovered that covering the edges of a Bi-2223/Ag tape conductor with a layer of soft ferromagnetic material significantly improves its two basic performance characteristics in low magnetic fields. The critical current is increased by approximately 20%, and both magnetization and transport AC loss are
Superconductors
Researchers from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, have been working on developing a high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system to trap nano-sized affinity magnetic beads. This technology has the potential to improve the resolution of immunomagnetic cell sorting (IMCS) technology, which is widely used in DNA and antibody analysis. The researchers
