Magnetic resonance imaging Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), formerly referred to as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) or, in chemistry nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), is a non-invasive method used to render images of the inside of an object. It is primarily used in medical imaging to demonstrate pathological or other physiological alterations of living tissues.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography Magnetic Resonance Angiography is the imaging of blood vessels using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is used to generate pictures of the arteries in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing) or aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture).
Magnetic sail A magnetic sail or magsail is a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion which would use a static magnetic field to deflect charged particles radiated by the Sun as a plasma wind, and thus impart force to accelerate the spacecraft.
Magnetic semiconductor Magnetic semiconductors are materials that exhibit both ferromagnetism (or a similar response) and useful semiconductor properties. If implemented in devices, these materials could provide a new type of control of conduction.
Magnetic stirrer A magnetic stirrer consists of a small bar magnet (or stir bar), which is normally coated in a plastic such as PTFE and a stand or plate containing a rotating magnet or stationary electomagnets creating a rotating magnetic field. Often, the plate can also be heated.
Magnetic storage Magnetic storage and magnetic recording are terms from engineering referring to the storage of data on a magnetised medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetization on a magnetically coated surface to store data and is non-volatile memory.
Magnetic stripe card A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data by modifying the magnetism of tiny iron-based magnetic particles on a band of magnetic material on the card. The magnetic stripe, sometimes called a magstripe, is read by physical contact and swiping past a reading head.

There are many hypothesised magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic mass to a high velocity, or ion cannons and plasma cannons which focus and direct charged particles using magnetic fields.
Magnetic-particle inspection Magnetic particle inspection processes are non-destructive methods for the detection of defects in ferrous materials. They make use of an externally applied magnetic field or DC current through the material, and the principle that the magnetic susceptibility of a defect is markedly poorer (the magnetic resistance is greater) than that of the surrounding material.

Magneto (electrical) A magneto provides pulses of electrical power to the spark plugs in some gasoline-powered internal combustion engines where batteries are not available, most commonly those in 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines used in small motorcycles, lawnmowers and chainsaws, serving a similar function as the coil-type ignition system found in automobiles. In these cases the magneto advantage is in its compact nature and simple reliable function.

Magneto-ionic double refraction In telecommunication, magneto-ionic double refraction is the combined effect of the Earth's magnetic field and atmospheric ionization, whereby a linearly polarized wave entering the ionosphere is split into two components called the ordinary wave and the extraordinary wave.
Magneto-optic effect A magneto-optic effect is any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium that has been altered by the presence of a quasistatic magnetic field. In such a material, which is also called gyrotropic or gyromagnetic, left- and right-rotating elliptical polarizations can propagate at different speeds, leading to a number of important phenomena.
Magnetocardiography Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a technique to measure the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the heart using extremely sensitive devices such as the Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUIDs). If the magnetic field is measured using a multichannel device, a map of the magnetic field is obtained over the chest; from such a map, using mathematical algorithms that take into account the conductivity structure of the torso, it is possible to locate the source of the activity.
Magnetoception Magnetoception (or "magnetoreception") is the ability to detect flux direction in a magnetic field, and is most commonly observed in birds, though it has also been observed in many other migratory animals. Researchers have identified a probable sensor in pigeons: a small (dwarf), heavily innervated region of the skull, which contains biological magnetite.

Magnetoplasmadynamic thruster The Magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster (MPDT) is a form of electric propulsion (a subdivision of spacecraft propulsion) which uses the Lorentz force (a force resulting from the interaction between a magnetic field and an electric current) to generate thrust. It is sometimes referred to as Lorentz Force Accelerator (LFA) or (mostly in Japan) MPD arcjet.
Magnetoresistance Magnetoresistance is the property of some materials to change the value of their electrical resistance when an external magnetic field is applied to them. The effect was first discovered by William Thomson in 1856, but he was unable to lower the electrical resistance of anything by more than 5%.
Magnetosheath The magnetosheath refers to the region of space between the magnetopause and the bow shock of a planet's magnetosphere. The regularly organized magnetic field generated by the planet becomes weak and irregular in the magnetosheath due to interaction with the incoming solar wind, and is incapable of fully deflecting the highly charged particles.
Magnetosome The magnetosome chains are membranous prokaryotic organelles present in magnetotactic bacteria. They contain 15 to 20 magnetite crystals that together act like the needle of a compass to orient magnetotactic bacteria in geomagnetic fields, thereby simplifying their search for their preferred microaerophilic environments.
Magnetosonic wave A magnetosonic wave is a longitudinal waveThe wave is longitudinal in the perturbation of the fluid velocity, although the perturbation of the magnetic field is transverse. See Schmidt, Physics of High Temperature Plasmas, p.
Magnetosphere A magnetosphere is the region around an astronomical object in which phenomena are dominated or organized by its magnetic field. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the magnetized planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Magnetosphere particle motion The region where magnetic forces can be detected is commonly known as a "magnetic field," and similarly the presence of electric forces identifies an "electric field." There also exists a deeper meaning to "field"--a modification of space itself, enabling it to transmit energy and momentum in the form of electromagnetic waves -- but in what follows, the simple definitions will suffice.
Magnetostriction Magnetostriction is a property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field. The effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel.
Magnetotactic bacteria Magnetotactic bacteria (or MTB) are a class of bacteria discovered in the 1960s, that exhibit the peculiar ability to orient themselves along the magnetic field lines of Earth's magnetic field. The term magnetotaxis has been coined to describe the biological phenomenon upon which these microorganisms tend to move in response to the magnetic characteristics of the environment.
