The NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter recently recorded the highest-ever concentration of a rare helium isotope (3He) emitted from the Sun. A Southwest Research Institute-led team of scientists sought the source ...

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.

The evolution of industrial heating technologies has followed a fascinating path—from primitive open flames to complex magnetic fields. Today, induction heating stands at the forefront, offering ...

Some animals that migrate across the globe -- such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles -- are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's north to south pole.

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

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

An international team, including UNIGE, has reproduced for the first time the formation and evolution of a magnetar.

Follow-up research on a 2023 image of the Sagittarius C stellar nursery in the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, has revealed ejections from still-forming ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Geologists use the discipline of paleomagnetism to measure the Earth's magnetic field as it existed millions of years ago. When molten rock cools, magnetic minerals align with the planet's magnetic ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...
