Researchers studying a distant spiral galaxy have found that large-scale, ordered magnetic fields existed far earlier in ...

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin ...

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

Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense ...

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 ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...
