Royal Medals for scientific achievement
The Royal Society - the UK's independent academy for science - has announced the winners of its Royal Medals for 2002. The three winners receive the awards in recognition of their achievements in the fields of cancer research, nuclear magnetic resonance and the epidemiology of smoking and chronic disease. Professor Suzanne Cory receives her Royal... view more... (2002-07-30)
External Magnetic Field Causes The Puzzling Heating Of The Solar Corona
The Russian astrophysicists have theoretically modelled coronal loop oscillations and have shown that the plasma present in coronal loops is quite "normal". So, the puzzle of the Sun`s atmosphere heating remains unresolved. Coronal loops, immense magnetic arches more hot and dense than the coronal... view more... (2002-06-21)
New theory explains enhanced superconductivity in nanowires
Superconducting wires are used in magnetic resonance imaging machines, high-speed magnetic-levitation trains, and in sensitive devices that detect variations in the magnetic field of a brain. view more (2006-10-19)
University Spin-Out Companies Perform Poorly In Bid To Create Wealth
Too many UK universities are failing to capitalise on the rewards to be gained from creating entrepreneurial spin-out companies. Research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and undertaken at Nottingham University Business School suggests that while universities are increasingly keen to create spin-out companies, far too few of... view more...

Changing the rings: a key finding for magnetics design
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states-"ringing" in physics parlance-in some key metals. view more (2007-08-06)
Thermal treatment for magneto-resistant materials design
Reader heads of compact discs and computer hard discs or position and magnetic field sensors are some of the applications of magneto-resistant materials, which are normally obtained by costly methods. Precisely in order to solve this problem, university teacher Mar'a Luisa Fern'ˇndez-Gubieda Ruiz, of the University of the Basque Country, is... view more... (2003-07-09)
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)
New magnetic separation technique might detect multiple pathogens at once
A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads hundreds of times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. view more (2007-10-30)
Overbearing colored light may reveal a second mechanism by which birds interpret magnetic signals
Magnetic orientation is critical to the migratory success of many bird species. By studying the influence of light on the ability of migratory birds to orient to magnetic signals, researchers have found clues to suggest that birds' orientation abilities may be more complex than previously thought. view more (2005-08-23)
Seeing magnetic fields
It has long been known that migratory birds can make use of the earth's magnetic fields to navigate. Birds read the angle that magnetic fields create on the ground and thereby determine how far north or south they are of the magnetic equator and the magnetic pole. But how do they do this? Is there some unknown "magnetic sense"? It seems... view more... (2004-02-23)
First Direct Observations of Spinons and Holons
Working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a team of researchers has observed the theoretical prediction of electron "spin-charge separation" in a one-dimensional solid. view more (2006-07-17)
NPL research shows there could be no end in sight for Moore's Law
The fast pace of growing computing power could be sustained for many years to come thanks to new research from the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) that is applying advanced techniques to magnetic semiconductors. view more (2008-12-09)
Pocket-sized magnetic resonance imaging
The term "MRI scan" brings to mind the gigantic, expensive machines that are installed in hospitals. But research scientists have now developed small portable MRI scanners that perform their services in the field: for instance to examine ice cores. view more (2008-07-09)
Cluster opens a new window on 'magnetic reconnection' in the near-Earth space
Plasma physicists have made an unprecedented measurement in their study of the Earth's magnetic field. Thanks to ESA's Cluster satellites they detected an electric field thought to be a key element in the process of 'magnetic reconnection'. view more (2007-03-13)
First detection of magnetic field in distant galaxy produces a surprise
Using a powerful radio telescope to peer into the early universe, a team of California astronomers has obtained the first direct measurement of a nascent galaxy's magnetic field as it appeared 6.5 billion years ago. view more (2008-10-02)
Pushing the limits of hard disk storage
Just how much data can we cram onto a hard disk? In a paper appearing online today in Physical Review Letters, EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) Professor Harald Brune and his colleagues report what they believe to be the ultimate density limit of magnetic recording. view more (2005-10-10)
Cluster hits the magnetic bull's-eye
ESA's spacecraft constellation Cluster has hit the magnetic bull's-eye. The four spacecraft surrounded a region within which the Earth's magnetic field was spontaneously reconfiguring itself. view more (2006-07-19)
Universities Mean Business - Research shows UK Universities are driving business success
Universities are generating more wealth and creating more jobs than ever before, according to the latest available figures published by the Government today. The third annual Higher Education Business Interaction (HEBI) survey shows that during 2001-02 the amount of turnover made by spin-off companies increased from £212m to £289m, and... view more...

Astronomers report unprecedented double helix nebula near center of the Milky Way
Astronomers report an unprecedented elongated double helix nebula near the center of our Milky Way galaxy, using observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. view more (2006-03-16)
Questions over 'healing effect' of magnet therapy
Patients should be advised that magnet therapy has no proved benefits, and that any healing effect is likely to be small, say US researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-01-06)
