Our simulation helped us understand that magnetic fields are propping up the disk material, making it fluffier." As the simulation zooms in, the researchers can see the dance of radiation ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM ...

Magnetars are neutron stars characterized by some of the most powerful magnetic fields in the Universe, as well as their intense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions and outbursts. An international team ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research ... of plasma research—theoretical, computer ...

The simulation revealed that the African LLVP ... in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays.

An international team, including UNIGE, has reproduced for the first time the formation and evolution of a magnetar.
