A space thruster using superconducting magnets completed its first orbital tests and could someday propel spacecraft using ...

Planets beyond our solar system can have magnetic fields similar to those closer to home, astronomers said Tuesday after observing extreme winds on scorching worlds known as "hot Jupiters." ...

At the right point of the orbit and stellar cycle, the star’s chromosphere brightens.

A research team from Bern has discovered the strongest evidence to date of magnetic fields outside our solar system. Apparently they slow down the extreme winds on the distant gas giants.

It has been known for many years that magnetic fields exist in the interstellar medium (ISM), although their role in shaping ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Magnetic fields usually kill superconductivity, but in a thin oxide interface they made it vanish, then return, opening a new ...

The Animal That Reads the Earth A reef manta ray tagged off the Maldives in 2015 travelled over 1,100 kilometres in a single ...

In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a crucial new tool in the search ...

Pigeons and other birds can do it. So can sea turtles and spiny lobsters, moths and mole rats, gray whales and big brown bats. Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of ...

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first magnetic multipole-based micromagnetic model for antiferromagnets.
