Just as the amplified magnetic field peaked, these electrons settled again, locking in the strong field’s direction. Benjamin Weiss, an MIT professor and study co-author, explains the process like ...

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

An international group of astronomers led by the University of Sydney has discovered strong magnetic fields are common in stars, not rare as previously thought, which will dramatically impact our ...

How do some neutron stars become the strongest magnets in the Universe? A German-British team of astrophysicists has found a possible answer to the question of how these so-called magnetars form. The ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

The quest for the world's strongest magnet faced a surprisingly violent problem: they kept exploding. At least, that was the issue facing a group of scientists at the National High Magnetic Field ...

The black hole at the center of our galaxy has been compared to a doughnut — and as it turns out, this doughnut has swirls. Scientists shared a mesmerizing new image on Wednesday, showing Sagittarius ...

a) In a weak magnetic field, broad cyclotron orbits suppress the orbital contribution, allowing spin polarization to dominate, (b) In strong magnetic fields, tight cyclotron orbits enhance orbital ...

The study of mesons under the influence of strong magnetic fields in nuclear matter has emerged as a pivotal area in contemporary nuclear and particle physics. In these extreme conditions, mesonic ...

Protective force fields exist and you’re already living inside one. About 1,800 miles beneath the ground you’ll reach the border of Earth’s outer core, a subterranean ocean of liquid iron and nickel 1 ...
