NASA: Major Step Toward Knowing Origin of Cosmic Rays
Recent observations from NASA and Japanese X-ray observatories have helped clarify one of the long-standing mysteries in astronomy -- the origin of cosmic rays.   view more (2007-10-10)

Forecasting Heart Storms
The requirements of man to the weather forecast are changing before our eyes. Before, a temperature, precipitation and wind forecast could do, while now man want to know the condition of the electromagnetic field of the Earth in a month ahead, desirably. Those, who suffer from heart diseases, are the ones to worry most of all: cardio-vascular... view more... (2002-04-02)

Cluster helps to protect astronauts and satellites against 'killer electrons'
ESA's Cluster mission has revealed a new creation mechanism of 'killer electrons'-highly energetic electrons that are responsible for damaging satellites and posing a serious hazard to astronauts.   view more (2005-12-23)

Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and Université d'Aix-Marseille) and Lon Hood (University... view more...

Magnetic field uses sound waves to ignite sun's ring of fire
Sound waves escaping the sun's interior create fountains of hot gas that shape and power a thin region of the sun's atmosphere which appears as a ruby red "ring of fire" around the moon during a total solar eclipse, according to research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA.   view more (2007-05-30)

UCSB physicists move 1 step closer to quantum computing
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have made an important advance in electrically controlling quantum states of electrons, a step that could help in the development of quantum computing.   view more (2009-11-20)

Mars Express observes aurorae on the Red Planet
Scientists using ESA's Mars Express have produced the first crude map of aurorae on Mars. These displays of ultraviolet light appear to be located close to the residual magnetic fields generated by Mars's crustal rocks.   view more (2008-11-24)

Research Team Is First to Model Photochemical Compass for Bird Navigation
A team of researchers at Arizona State University and the University of Oxford are the first to model a photochemical compass that may simulate how migrating birds use light and Earth's weak magnetic field to navigate.   view more (2008-05-01)

FSU researchers' material may lead to advances in quantum computing
Scientists at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the university's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry have introduced a new material that could be to computers of the future what silicon is to the computers of today.   view more (2007-10-09)

Physicists exploit ultra-cold gases to measure ultra-small magnetic fields
Capturing the coldest atoms in the universe within the confines of a laser beam, University of California, Berkeley, physicists have made a device that can map magnetic fields more precisely than ever before.   view more (2007-05-22)

NARVAL — The first observatory dedicated to stellar magnetism
NARVAL, a stellar spectropolarimeter, has recently been installed on the 2 meter diameter Bernard Lyot Telescope (INSU-CNRS) at the summit of the Pic du Midi in the French Pyrenees.   view more (2007-02-09)

Leading European experts in magnetic resonance for animals
The UAB SeRMN is enlarging its facilities to make room for two new cutting-edge machines for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).   view more (2007-01-11)

Magnet Made Of Pure Carbon
All known magnets contain metals and so far scientists believed that non-metallic material could not behave like a strong magnet. However, at the end of 20th century, some organic substances with strong magnetic properties were found, but they were magnetic only at very low temperatures, just above liquid helium. It seemed impossible to obtain... view more... (2001-10-24)

Academy Medal for MRI Pioneer
Professor Ian Young, OBE, FREng, FRS, one of the pioneers of the diagnostic engineering technology Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has won this year's prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Sir Frank Whittle Medal. This year awarded for 'engineering innovations in medicine', and presented to Professor Young to recognise his contributions to the... view more... (2004-06-10)

Picture this: FSU professor's research could lead to vastly improved medical imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, has revolutionized health care, providing doctors with a highly accurate, non-invasive tool for diagnosing cancer, injuries and other maladies within the human body.   view more (2007-02-14)

Toxic molecule may help birds 'see' north and south
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a toxic molecule known to damage cells and cause disease may also play a pivotal role in bird migration.   view more (2009-06-23)

Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell.   view more (2006-09-08)
