The intensely hot interior of planets isn’t somewhere you’d expect to find snow, but scientists do suspect that “iron snow” falls on the Earth’s core. Now, a new study has modeled the dynamics in the ...

Researchers led by the University of Maryland have found that the sun's magnetic field is the reason behind the large size of Mercury’s iron core. The study has been published in Progress in Earth and ...

One of the biggest arguments about the inner solar system among astronomers and scientists is why exactly Mercury has such a massive iron core. The prevailing theory is that collisions with other ...

A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new technique for controlling the nanostructures and magnetic domain structures of iron-based soft amorphous ribbons, achieving ...

A new study disputes the prevailing hypothesis on why Mercury has a big core relative to its mantle (the layer between a planet’s core and crust). For decades, scientists argued that hit-and-run ...

New processing tunes nanostructure and magnetic domains in iron-based amorphous ribbons, cutting core loss by over 50% for high-frequency power electronics. (Nanowerk News) In power electronics - the ...

Schematic diagrams of the nanostructure and magnetic domain structure of a conventional amorphous soft magnetic ribbon (left) and the newly developed ribbon (right). The new material exhibits a ...

Scientists from Tohoku University and the University of Maryland have pinpointed the strong magnetic field of the early sun as the reason behind the radial variation of rock and metal in rocky planets ...

Controlled nanostructure and magnetic domains open the door to next-generation transformers and EV components. (Nanowerk News) A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new ...
