X-men’s Magneto isn’t the only who can shield magnetic fields. Spanish researchers have designed what they call the world's first "anti-magnet," a magnetic cloak that can act as a shield they envision ...

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

The idea of shielding spacecraft from harmful cosmic radiation using artificially-generated magnetic fields was once dismissed as unrealistically expensive. But new experiments carried out in the UK ...

Deflector shields aren’t just for the starship Enterprise. One day, giant magnetic bubbles could protect spacecraft on long voyages. By gathering charged particles floating through space, the bubbles ...

The Sun constantly emits streams of charged particles, known as the solar wind, from its outer atmosphere, the corona. These particles travel throughout the Solar System and interact with Earth's ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

This article describes magnet, concentrator and magnetic shield and lists a few suppliers recommended by Allegro’s customers. There are several materials that magnets are made of including NdFeB ...

An ordinary horseshoe magnet attracts a heavy piece of iron. X-men’s Magneto isn’t the only who can shield magnetic fields. Spanish researchers have designed what they call the world's first ...
