Electromagnetic form factors serve as fundamental descriptors of nucleon structure, encapsulating the spatial distributions of electric charge and magnetisation within protons and neutrons. These form ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins started a series of on-orbit tests Monday that could lead to large “sparse arrays” of satellites in space maintaining their relative position using ...

Between 1966 and 1969, the Dick Tracy comic strip proclaimed 31 times that “The nation that controls magnetism will control the universe.” That prediction hasn’t come true, but there may be something ...

BOSTON — The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plans to begin work next year that could lead to a formation-flying experiment in which multiple small satellites perform functions ...

Ithaca, NY – April 1, 2008 – By taking advantage of the surprising physics of magnetic flux pinning, spacecraft components could hover a fraction of an inch to several feet apart without electrical ...

Video: A computer animation illustrates how electromagnets can keep spacecraft in formation (Benjamin Schweighart/MIT-SSL) Video: Experiments at the MIT Space Systems Laboratory show that by varying ...

A new discovery in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza suggests the structure was not just a pharaoh's final resting place, but also a giant power plant. Scientists blasted the 4,600-year-old structure with ...

Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are testing a new propulsion system ... inside the station. While this might seem like the height of recklessness, this particular system doesn't ...
