lowering-iron-loss-in-ev-motors:-new-model-maps-how-maze-like-magnetic-domains-reverse-in-soft-magnets

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a computational model that can trace how intricate “maze domain” structures in soft magnetic materials reverse their magnetization—and identify the energy barriers that drive that process. The goal is to understand the phenomenon of iron loss in electric motor cores. Repeated magneticContinue Reading

nasa-satellites help-map-ocean-nutrient-stress 

Warming waters decrease upwelling and lead to stress on marine microorganisms due to limited availability of vital nutrients. Red indicates the regions of highest nutrient-related stress. Kel Elkins/NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio Editor’s note: This article was updated on June 5. A new study combining NASA satellite observations, ocean surveys, andContinue Reading

requiem-for-a-glacier

“I have never written a memorial for a glacier — no one has,” laments the poet Andri Snær Magnason during Sara Dosa’s “Time and Water.” In 2019, Magnason was given the extraordinary task of writing an epitaph to Iceland’s Okjokull glacier, which was declared “dead” five years earlier. Dosa’s diptychContinue Reading
