In a world first, plasma “fireballs” have been created in the lab setting using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva. The Oxford-led international science team experimented to ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

A magnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's Law of Induction to measure the flow of a fluid. Magnets outside the pipe create a ...

"The fascination with exoplanets stems from our desire to understand our own planet better." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

In March, ESA's spacecraft Solar Orbiter had its first clear view of the Sun’s south pole. A first analysis has now been published. Huge cells of hot plasma cover the Sun and create the large-scale, ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...
