In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the magnetism and ...

The substances could help supply a lunar base ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has mapped a magnetic ...

Scientists have developed a high-resolution magnetic line camera to measure magnetic fields in real time. Field lines in magnetic systems such as generators or motors, which are invisible to the human ...

Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field generated by electric currents from within the planet. Compasses take advantage of this field to identify north and serve as a navigational aid. But one social ...

It is known that the sun’s corona — the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere — is roughly 100 times hotter than its photosphere — the sun’s visible layer. The reason for this mysterious heating of ...

Neutron stars have the strongest magnetic fields in the universe, and the only way to measure their surface magnetic field directly is to observe the cyclotron absorption lines in their X-ray energy ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

Think of it as the giant Koosh ball in the sky. A dazzling new image depicts the sun's many magnetic field lines, which snake all around Earth's star but are densest near sunspots. These darker and ...

"Turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in classical mechanics." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. In between all ...

We encounter magnetic field sensors everywhere today – but few of us know it. These sensors make sure washing machines run concentrically, that headlights automatically adjust to the correct angle if ...
