Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...
Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...
Scientists have released the largest and most detailed maps ever made of the universe’s magnetic fields, using data from ...
Magnetic fields thread the largest structures in the observable universe. They trace the filaments of the cosmic web, wind ...
The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...
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 mysterious particle from deep space has scientists buzzing after the most energetic neutrino ever detected slammed through the Mediterranean Sea. Now, researchers think they may have identified the ...
An imperfect diamond is perfect for sensing Earth’s magnetic field from space. A quantum device used a diamond’s defects to map Earth’s magnetic field from the International Space Station. Just 10 ...
NASA has chosen to develop a University of Colorado project that could revolutionize the measurement of magnetic fields in space. Researchers at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at CU ...
High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, however, is protected by its magnetic field, which creates a protective ...
Barreling through the universe with incredible power and speed, galactic cosmic rays are a major source of radiation in space. But thanks to Earth’s strong magnetic field, these charged particles ...
As black holes feed, they pull material into a disk around them. The material orbiting in this disk gets heated to extreme temperatures, and so it becomes a plasma — a state of matter in which some of ...
