Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...

Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

A pair of stars spiraling around each other. That’s the origin of a new source of repeating radio bursts we’ve detected, ...

NASA’s Fermi telescope has detected what may be the first confirmed gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova — one of the most extreme explosions in the universe. Scientists believe the blast ...

Numerical simulations provide a mechanism that explains how celestial objects such as stars and galaxies can generate ordered, macroscopic magnetic fields. The mechanism arises from turbulence — ...

Imagine stars so exotic that when they merge they produce gold, and as well emit signals so precise that they may one ...

Multi-messenger astronomy of neutron star mergers unites gravitational-wave detections, electromagnetic observations across the spectrum and potential neutrino and cosmic-ray signals to probe the ...
