A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String ...

Simulations of highly magnetized stars that explode and collapse into black holes show that they transfer their magnetic fields to the disk of swirling matter that forms around the new black hole.

Research based on a 2023 image of the Sagittarius C stellar nursery, taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, has ...

A flexible, semi-autonomous robot could potentially locate disaster victims trapped under rubble and deliver medication within the human body. A small, soft, and flexible robot capable of crawling ...

This approach can now be used to determine the rotation rate of any celestial object with a magnetic field and auroras — ...

New study shows that electron spins—tiny magnetic properties of atoms that can store information—can be protected from decohering (losing their quantum state) much more effectively than previously ...

The video, viewable on X, is about 50 seconds long. It shows the ISS orbiting around Earth. It's a cool shot all on its own, ...

For the first time, researchers have revealed the high-affinity interaction between mitochondrial proteins HAX1 ...

These spectacular lights resemble those seen on Earth, where they're generated when energetic particles interact with our planet's magnetic field, but Jupiter's auroras are believed to proceed ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising magnetic spin phase where order and disorder mix, challenging old ideas.

A survey of high-speed electron flow observed by NASA satellites in the Earth’s magnetotail is presented and related to the process of magnetic field line reconnection and particle acceleration.
