Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory ...

Physicists show that magnetoelastic coupling, present in nearly all magnets, can generate skyrmion arrays without crystal ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation ...

Magnetars are among the most bizarre and mysterious objects in the universe, packing in trillions of times more magnetic pull than the Earth or any magnet developed by humans. Scientists are still ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic ...

The new research sheds light on the processes that are responsible for setting the properties of stars, which in turn affects the formation of planets. Stella Offner’s research will shed light on the ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying ...

Magnetic fields in space are sometimes called the last piece in the puzzle of star formation. They are much harder to measure than the masses or motions of star-forming clouds, and their strength is ...

A team from the National University of Singapore has demonstrated the ability to form large arrays of very small magnetic structures using temperature-controlled self-assembly techniques. The aim of ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A process developed at Ohio State University for shaping metal parts using magnetism has reached a new milestone -- one that may cut manufacturing costs and help preserve the ...
