Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Imagine a world where the weather forecast isn’t just a guess, but a button you can press. Picture farmers summoning rain for ...

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

NASA’s IXPE space observatory has examined the polarization of X-rays from the supernova wreckage Cassiopeia A to learn more about its powerful magnetic fields.

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity.. Over the past couple of years, solar activity ...

The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field, its ...

A new method enables researchers to analyze magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. It was developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Max Planck ...

A new sunspot forming on the surface of the sun might be about to fling solar flares in our direction. The sunspot, named 3856, is facing Earth and has developed a volatile type of magnetic field ...

As co-author Jianfeng Zang explains, the microfibrebots are made by using thermal energy to draw magnetic soft composite materials into microfibres, which are then “magnetized and moulded to give them ...

The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow. For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun.

A tool magnetizer uses a magnet with positive polarity to rearrange the electrons in the metal of a tool to align with the magnetic field of the tool magnetizer.
