In recent research by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a groundbreaking discovery was made about braided magnetic flux ropes, which are found both in laboratory ...

Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...

Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b), using a ...

With demand for renewable energy growing, hydropower plants are working harder than ever. This makes monitoring and protecting ageing ...

Eruptions on the sun's surface are probably caused by giant, unstable magnetic plasma arches, a new study reports — a discovery that brings scientists one step closer to predicting solar outbursts ...

Modern technology depends on precision, yet many critical systems operate in environments filled with invisible magnetic ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
