Sentences with phrase «alignment by magnetic fields»

In lab experiments, scientists found that the longer it took the rock to cool, the larger the resulting crystals, allowing researchers to use crystal size to determine how long a rock was hot and its electrons susceptible to alignment by magnetic fields.

Not exact matches

Uranus» magnetic field and rotation axis are out of alignment by 59 degrees, unlike Earth's, whose magnetic field and rotation axis are nearly aligned.

But a strong external magnetic field can reduce that resistance by bringing the magnetic moments into alignment.

A model developed by co-author Robertus Erdélyi of the University of Sheffield, U.K., shows that certain alignments of the sun's magnetic fields can channel the vibrations through narrow tunnels in the fields, driving spicules upward like regular thrusts from a piston.
