A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

A dramatic shift in Earth’s magnetic field occurred roughly 41,000 years ago during what scientists now call the Laschamps ...

The first image of a black hole was of M87*, the supermassive monster at the center of the enormous elliptical galaxy M87.

M87* is a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 55 million light-years away with a mass around 6.5 billion times the mass of ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

Scientists asked a simple question: when Earth’s magnetic field gets unsettled from solar storms, is there a correlation with ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...
