Their rapid spin and intense magnetic fields cause the pulsars ... from a lighthouse every time they pass across our field of view. Each pulsar has its own signature pulse rate, making them ...

With a clean aesthetic and light-to-the-touch magnetic switches, the Pulsar PCMK 2 HE tenkeyless keyboard is a superb choice, ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM ...

The jet shoots out of the pulsar perpendicular to the Guitar Nebula ... which are thousands of times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. This mix of factors accelerates particles and shoots ...

His theory accurately replicates the observed "zebra" pattern, suggesting it is the result of the interaction of radio waves ...

Geophysicist Daniel Lathrop wants, among other things, to use it to predict when the Earth’s magnetic field will next reverse. Over the course of our planet’s history, the field has flipped ...

A permanent magnet is always magnetic. It has an invisible magnetic field. Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...
