Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Micrometer-sized, flower-shaped structures made of a nickel-iron alloy can locally enhance magnetic fields by concentrating field lines at their center. The ...

We all know that the Earth is in constant motion - it is something we learnt in school, and while we might not feel it at all, our planet is constantly moving, completing one rotation around the ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

It looked still to you before because you were moving with it. We have this same problem with electric and magnetic fields. Depending on your reference frame, what appears to be a magnetic force ...
