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 ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a way to flip the magnetic ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Basel have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create adaptable ...

Earth’s magnetic north has just crossed an invisible threshold in the Arctic, slipping into a region that modern navigation ...

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

Researchers documented the activity of neurons that shape directional navigation as bats explored a remote island off the ...

An international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements – in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic moments.

When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...

Riona Indhur has received the prestigious National Research Foundation (NRF) postdoctoral research fellowship (Scarce Skills). The project was funded by the National research Foundation and Water ...

Solar flares are powerful blasts of energy from the Sun that are able to wreak havoc on Earth’s magnetosphere when they’re pointed in the right direction. Now, thanks to the clearest images ever taken ...
