Introduced by electrical engineers from the University of California, San Diego, a new wireless communication method works by sending magnetic signals through the human body, and offers a lower-power, ...

Our bodies generate extremely weak magnetic fields as electric currents flow through the heart, brain and other tissues. These signals are used in magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography to ...

One of the prime goals of medical oncology is to find cost-effective, non-invasive cancer treatment modalities with negligible side effects. Electroceutical modalities promise to fulfill these ...

Every cell in your body has spent its entire existence inside Earth’s magnetic field. We usually think of that field as a planetary shield, deflecting charged particles from space. But a new ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.
