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 ...

Mercury's iron core is roughly the same size as Earth's moon, taking up three-quarters of the planet's diameter. And now researchers say this is likely due to the sun's magnetism and not collisions ...

Our planet's magnetic field is believed to be generated deep down in the Earth's core. Nobody has ever journeyed to the centre of the Earth, but by studying shockwaves from earthquakes, physicists ...

Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

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 ...

Magnetic cores for power supply inductors require careful selection because of the important role they play. An inductor core must be able to retain inductance with dc bias and handle any ripple ...
