Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web In the ‘70s, scientists observed that magnetic flux around a tiny doughnut of a superconductor behaved this way. 
Sumeet Kulkarni, Los Angeles Times, 2 July 2022 His research led to the question of tangles, which also occur at the microscopic level in DNA helixes and in magnetic flux lines crisscrossing the cosmos. Douglas Belkin, WSJ, 2 May 2022 If the spectral gap ever dropped below a critical value as scientists inserted more and more magnetic flux, QAC would happily allow the system to jump to a new, excited quantum state, leaving behind its low-energy past. Spyridon Michalakis, Scientific American, 1 Aug. 2020 Laughlin's original argument used this notion to mathematically model the quantum Hall effect as the adiabatic evolution of the electronic state of a quantum Hall system under the increase of a fictitious magnetic flux. Spyridon Michalakis, Scientific American, 1 Aug. 2020 This layer is made up of plasma, or free-floating electrons, and magnetic flux -- the measurement of a magnetic field force in a specific area. Ashley Strickland, CNN, 20 Sep. 2019 Under the basics of Faraday's law, the wire's motion causes a change in magnetic flux, which creates a magnetic field—and thus a voltage—which then charges up the lithium battery. Eleanor Hildebrandt, Popular Mechanics, 9 Nov. 2018 The change in timing was either the process of transferring momentum to the crust or the result of the vortex altering the magnetic flux lines of the neutron star. John Timmer, Ars Technica, 11 Apr. 2018 The ropes are better referred to as magnetic flux ropes, twisting magnetic fields that, when visualized, look a lot like rope.
