Light is closely integrated with our intellectual, philosophical and scientific discourse. The exact nature of light has remained a mystery since we stepped on earth. Newton postulated the corpuscular ...

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other issues. As a result, trekking beyond the Earth's confines causes many ...

For years, researchers have debated how our brains consistently develop areas specialized for recognizing faces, objects, ...

Scientists report that a new class of magnetism, altermagnetism, can increase memory device operation speeds by up to a ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

Scientists have unlocked a way to read magnetic orientation at record-breaking speeds using terahertz radiation. Modern hard ...

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...
