From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind, high-energy particle transport, and galaxy formation. Small-scale ...

MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially ...

There are several theories about how the Earth and the Moon were formed, most involving a giant impact. They vary from a model where the impacting object strikes the newly formed Earth a glancing blow ...

The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Atomic scale copper rich layers inside rare earth magnets suppress demagnetization, improving strength, stability, and efficiency in motors and generators.

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...

Scientists suggest superionic “hot black ice” deep inside Neptune may explain its tilted, offset and chaotic magnetic field, ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the ...
