Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun’s two poles as scientists seek a ...

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to ...

Abstract: Magnetic field analysis of claw-pole machines using improved equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC) is presented in this paper. On the basis of 3-D geometry, improved EMC, which consists of ...

ESA has just released the first-ever images taken of the Sun's south pole, as seen this year by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

The spacecraft's tilted orbit will allow scientists to investigate the mechanisms behind space weather that impact crucial ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter, in collaboration with NASA, has captured unprecedented images of the Sun's south ...

ESA reveals first-ever view of the Sun’s south pole, unlocking secrets of magnetic flips and violent solar winds.

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is ...

For the first time, ESA’s Solar Orbiter has captured direct images of the Sun’s north and south poles, offering crucial ...

Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image ...
