Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

Safety critical components for aircraft and Formula 1 racing cars could one day be 3D printed via a new technique, developed ...

(Our planet's magnetic field should look a lot like the field around a bar magnet, but electrically charged particles in the solar wind push against the magnetic field, so the side pointing away ...

For comparison, a typical refrigerator magnet has a magnetic field of about 1,000,000 milligauss. For the first time astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star ...

Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.

That's higher than the orbit where you'll find geostationary satellites, but it's still close enough to the planet that the magnetic field is neat and orderly, more like a bar magnet. Farther out ...

That’s quite a big gap, as it turns out. It covers fields from gigantic bodies like the Sun and Earth, as well as those ...
