Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle-like properties and can be moved efficiently by electrical currents. These properties make skyrmions an excellent ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

Available at no cost, the online simulation resource offers high accuracy and configurability for magnetic position-sensor design, covering both linear and rotary modes of operation. In order to ...

The simulation also showed that these flares can be cyclical. The magnetic field energy wanes after a while, before eventually resetting and kicking off the process once again. This cycle of flaring ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Scientists have long struggled to understand how common planets form. A new supercomputer simulation shows that the missing ingredient may be magnetism. We like to think of ourselves as unique. That ...

A multi-institutional team became the first to generate accurate results from materials science simulations on a quantum computer that can be verified with neutron scattering experiments and other ...

In a new study, researchers from the ARIES and their collaborators used computational models that simulate the behaviour of ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.
