Researchers studying a distant spiral galaxy have found that large-scale, ordered magnetic fields existed far earlier in cosmic history than standard theories predicted, forcing a fresh look at how ...

Just as the amplified magnetic field peaked, these electrons settled again, locking in the strong field’s direction. Benjamin Weiss, an MIT professor and study co-author, explains the process like ...

Deep within massive rocky exoplanets, hidden oceans of molten rock may be generating powerful magnetic fields in an ...

Levon Pogosian receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. The work described in this article was enabled in part by support provided by the BC DRI Group and ...

New results from China’s Chang’e 5 mission suggest that the Moon possessed a magnetic field well into its midlife, much longer than previously documented. In work published Jan. 1 in Science Advances, ...

Three years of radiation data collected on the far side of the moon show that Earth’s magnetic field still reaches the lunar surface, cutting incoming galactic cosmic rays by as much as 20 percent ...

Brownian motion in the presence of magnetic fields and under non-Markovian dynamics lies at a critical intersection of statistical physics and applied mathematics. This field examines how charged ...

When my colleagues and I set to work on a century-old cosmic mystery, we found an unexpected celestial laboratory in Terzan 5, a dense star cluster currently plunging through our galaxy at breakneck ...

Traditional radio-based systems often suffer severe attenuation underground, as soil and rock absorb or scatter electromagnetic waves. By contrast, magnetic induction uses low-frequency magnetic ...
