This rendering illustrates magnetic kink instability in simulated jets beaming from a galaxy's center. The jets are believed to be associated with supermassive black holes. The magnetic field line ...

Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Using the Event Horizon Telescope, a global collection of radio ...

Satellite data has revealed a growing weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic – and it’s been expanding ...

High-speed color images from a fusion machine reveal lithium turning greenish-yellow as it traces magnetic lines.

Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on our planet. It protects Earth from cosmic radiation and acts as a shield ...

Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for ...

UPTON, NY—In the field of superconductivity—the phenomenon in which electrons can flow through a material with essentially zero resistance—the “holy grail” of discovery is a superconductor that can ...

Per the ESA, this phenomenon can be best explained by strange behaviors far within the Earth at the boundary where the Earth's liquid outer core meets the rocky mantle layer. This boundary, referred ...
