Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle ...

Per the ESA, this phenomenon can be best explained by strange behaviors far within the Earth at the boundary where the Earth's liquid outer core meets the rocky mantle layer. This boundary, referred ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’).

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...

Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) have uncovered the intricate magnetic heartbeat of a ...
