A quantum state that exists only because a magnetic field keeps flipping on schedule may turn out to be one of the hardest things in nature to disrupt. That is the central finding from a team at ...

The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

NAOJ ATERUI III simulations show magnetic fields strip angular momentum from forming protostar pairs at up to 0.7 percent per ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Inverse problems for magnetic Schrödinger operators are at the forefront of mathematical physics and analysis, as they address the challenge of determining unknown magnetic and electric potentials ...

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 ...
