A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...

Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle-like properties and can be moved efficiently by electrical currents. These properties make skyrmions an excellent ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

Galaxy clusters don’t just meet, they collide in universe-slow cataclysms that send shock waves rippling across millions of ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Voyager 2 data from Uranus and Neptune revealed their magnetic fields are non-dipolar and disordered, a stark contrast to the dipolar fields observed on Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. Astronomer Burkhard ...
