Nonlinearity is the driving force for numerous important effects in nature typically showing transitions between different regimes, regular, chaotic or catastrophic behavior. Localized nonlinear modes ...

The technical term for this movement, which is often compared to a tilted spinning top, is precession. "Our experiment at the new DRESDYN facility is intended to demonstrate that precession, as a ...

A group of scientists is continuing the search for dark matter within the framework of the "Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment" (or "CASPEr" for short). CASPEr is an international research ...

THE following account of a simple experiment may be of interest to some of the readers of NATURE. The common peg-top and tee-totum are commonly referred to as affording a good example of the ...

New home: the Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall at Fermilab, where it studies precession of muons. (Courtesy: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab) A long-standing discrepancy between the predicted and measured ...

Flows of molten metal can generate magnetic fields. This so-called dynamo effect creates cosmic magnetic fields, like those found on planets, moons and even asteroids. Over the coming years, a ...
