In a world first, plasma “fireballs” have been created in the lab setting using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

In March, ESA's spacecraft Solar Orbiter had its first clear view of the Sun’s south pole. A first analysis has now been published. Huge cells of hot plasma cover the Sun and create the large-scale, ...

Tongcang Li, a professor of physics and electrical and computer engineering, leads a team that has developed the BNNTs with optically active spin qubits. He also is on the faculty of the Purdue ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...

In response to a short pulse of near-infrared light, the robot released the pebble. Further, the light produced heat triggered a shape change that forced the robot to unfold. The robot then returned ...
