Sentences with phrase «generating strong magnetic fields»

The movement of iron, which can carry a charge, generates a strong magnetic field that can protect a planet's atmosphere from being ravaged by solar wind (SN Online: 8/18/17).

Earth generates a strong magnetic field extending from the core out into space that shields the atmosphere and deflects harmful high - energy particles from the Sun and the cosmos.

Current - day Earth generates a strong magnetic field capable of deflecting the majority of the stellar material flung at it through events such as a coronal mass ejections.

Wireless chargers generate strong magnetic fields.

Not exact matches

Scientists don't fully understand what's driving Jupiter's strongest auroras, but data gathered by the orbiting Juno spacecraft hint that the electrons generating Jupiter's polar glows may be accelerated by turbulent waves in the planet's magnetic field — a process somewhat akin to surfers being driven shoreward ahead of breaking ocean waves, the researchers report today in Nature.

For this theory to work, the beams released by black holes would have to have strong, self - generated magnetic fields and the rotation of particles around the fields would then give off powerful bursts of gamma ray radiation.

They think a very strong magnetic field, tens of trillions of times the size of Earth's and much stronger even than a normal pulsar's field, generates the bursting pulsar's signals.

The gamma rays could be generated when charged particles are accelerated by strong magnetic fields around the stellar remnant.

That outer layer would have dragged against the liquid interior, generating friction and a very strong magnetic field (SN Online: 12/4/14).

A possible answer: The magnetic field is strong where the churning core generates it, but the layer of electrically conducting iron sulfide partially screens out and weakens the field before it reaches the surface.

These defects «pin» in place, or trap, the microscopic magnetic vortices that form when the superconductor is placed in a strong magnetic field, such as those generated by magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.

These proposed devices, like their predecessors, aim to cancel gravity by wrapping an object in superconducting coils to generate a magnetic field so strong that it warps space.

He suggests that the acceleration of particles in the solar wind — essentially a surface phenomenon — is determined by the strong «dynamo» magnetic field generated deep down in the Sun.

The smaller star is the source of the magnetic field, and even though that field is about 1000 times stronger than the sun's, imaging it still required two arrays of radiotelescopes, plus two extra dishes, to detect the signals generated by magnetic fields.

This could come from electric flow in a salty ocean generated by Jupiter's strong magnetic field passing through it.

The strong radio emission was unexpected because brown dwarfs, according to conventional theories, are not supposed to have magnetic fields strong enough to generate the radio emission.
