Magnetars are among the most bizarre and mysterious objects in the universe, packing in trillions of times more magnetic pull than the Earth or any magnet developed by humans. Scientists are still ...

Friction usually announces itself through contact. A chair scraping across a floor, a tire gripping asphalt, a hand sliding ...

Baby stars release excess energy by ejecting magnetic “sneezes,” forming giant warm gas rings, new ALMA observations reveal.

The new research sheds light on the processes that are responsible for setting the properties of stars, which in turn affects the formation of planets. Stella Offner’s research will shed light on the ...

Although magnetic forces are usually much weaker than gravity in shaping cosmic structures, the findings suggest that strong, ordered magnetic fields may have emerged earlier than expected. Over time, ...

Magnetic fields in space are sometimes called the last piece in the puzzle of star formation. They are much harder to measure than the masses or motions of star-forming clouds, and their strength is ...

A team from the National University of Singapore has demonstrated the ability to form large arrays of very small magnetic structures using temperature-controlled self-assembly techniques. The aim of ...

A recent breakthrough has established a direct link between magnetism and electricity, paving the way for faster technological advancements in computing. This development builds on the first-time ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A process developed at Ohio State University for shaping metal parts using magnetism has reached a new milestone -- one that may cut manufacturing costs and help preserve the ...
