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 ...

It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are exploring how magnetic fields could allow satellites to safely maneuver around each other without using traditional fuel. A study published on ...

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 ...

Using magnetic forces to hold the elements of a modular spacecraft together without mechanical connection is being studied by Cornell University's College of Engineering as part of a Northrop ...

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 ...
