Additionally, the MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code is a technology used for authenticating banks on documents like cheques. It consists of a unique combination of numbers and characters ...

It’s a simple magnetic ring attached to a non-magnetic finger ring that doubles as a kickstand. But what if both rings were magnetic? What if both of them were the same size? What if each of ...

One of the many unseen forces to which you owe your existence is magnetism. If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely ...

This map and an internal magnetic ‘compass’ rely on distinct mechanisms, implying that turtles have two magnetic senses. We developed a magnetic-coil system that could replicate the magnetic ...

Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from solar radiation — and helps guide the migrations of many animals. Loggerhead ...

If tattoo ink did cause cancer, you’d expect people who had more of their body tattooed to be at greater risk. Crucially, the authors did not find this. Even if the data were more convincing ...

Something to look forward to: E-ink technology has come a long way over the last few years. We're now seeing displays with 60Hz refresh rates and color e-ink monitors, but this latest device is ...

"This speed – alongside the weakening of Earth's magnetic field by around nine per cent in the past 170 years – could indicate an upcoming reversal," said Cooper.

Experts see peer recognition as important to student success in physics, and a new study gives college-level physics instructors insight into how students perceive the message from their ...

Two of these models sport Magnetic Air cooling which we review – they’re marked with an “M” for Magnetic Air on the box – while the other two use regular fan designs. The cards have a ...

My most recent playthrough was with a character I spent way too much time in the character creator perfecting. She was stunning, and I named her "melon." Other runner-up names were "Toyotathon ...
