Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

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

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet." ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has mapped a magnetic ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Brownian motion in the presence of magnetic fields and under non-Markovian dynamics lies at a critical intersection of statistical physics and applied mathematics. This field examines how charged ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — containing the equivalent magnetic energy of a human brain. When you ...

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...
