Head, Research and Development Section, Computer Dept. Raytheon Manufacturing Co., Waltham, Mass. MAGNETIC core circuits can be found performing the computer functions of storage, manipulation, ...

The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites monitoring our world.

For more than half a billion years, a giant magnetic anomaly buried in Earth’s ancient rocks has puzzled scientists. The ...

To design an inductive component that contains a magnetic-core material, an engineer must accurately measure the material's characteristics. A magnetic core's dynamic hysteresis loop, or “B-H curve,” ...

Small magnetic waves have been discovered at Earth's core, with each oscillation working on a seven year cycle. Earth's magnetic field is generated by electric currents generated by the movement of ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. If you could travel back in time 41,000 years to the last ice age, your compass would point south instead of north ...

For the vast majority of us, computer memory is a somewhat abstract idea. Whether you’re declaring a variable in Python or setting a register in Verilog, the data goes — somewhere — and the rest ...

On this day in tech history, An Wang filed a patent which would become the basis of magnetic core memory. After receiving his PhD in applied physics, Wang began working at the Harvard Computation ...
