Astrophysicists have observed our central supermassive black hole. They found the accretion disk is constantly emitting flares without periods of rest. Shorter, faint flares and longer, bright flares ...

Researchers have announced results from a new search at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL) Facility at ...

When it comes to layered quantum materials, current understanding only scratches the surface; so demonstrates a new study ...

Alex Keshavarzi digs into the showdown between two competing Standard Model predictions of the muon, which may reveal undiscovered particles hiding in the vacuum ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet ...

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 ...

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

What is space weather, what causes it, and how does it affect humans? Physicist Robyn Millan, who co-chaired a recent ...

A lot of things are symmetrical – cats, dogs (bilateral symmetry), planets, stars (spherical symmetry), galaxies, pies (radial symmetry ... in Super Bowl Earth’s magnetic field triggers ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...
