However, our understanding of planetary magnetic fields is limited to the eight planets in our solar system, as we haven't yet accrued much data on the magnetic fields of exoplanets. That could be ...

Researchers have identified the first signature of a magnetic field surrounding a planet outside of our solar system. Earth’s magnetic field acts as a shield against energetic particles from the sun ...

Experimental set-up of hBN quantum sennsor. (Image: RMIT University) To date, quantum sensing chips have been made from diamond as it’s a very robust platform. The limitations of diamond-based sensors ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.

As an electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, it’s perhaps not so surprising that light is affected by a magnetic field. This Faraday effect (FE) has been used since its discovery by [Michael Faraday] ...

One of Earth's defining features is its magnetic field. It forms a protective shield against high-energy particles ejected by the Sun and thus arguably has provided life with a safer place to grow ...

Researchers at TMOS, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems, and their collaborators at RMIT University have developed a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron ...
