Might the universe’s most extreme black holes owe their existence to magnetism? In 2023, gravitational wave detectors LIGO, ...

The simulations revealed that stronger magnetic fields create lighter, slower spinning black holes, while weaker fields allow heavier, faster spinning ones. This relationship suggests black holes ...

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...

A weak spot in Earth’s protective magnetic field is growing larger and exposing orbiting satellites and astronauts to more ...

In a nutshell: Scientists in China have created a mind-bogglingly powerful resistive magnet that has officially broken the world record by sustaining an incredible 42.02 tesla. That is over 800,000 ...

Stuart Clark’s excellent article “Our magnetic universe” stated that nuclear fusion “relies on strong magnetic fields to trap energy and heat” and that this “unexpected ability of the [galactic] ...

Magnetism is a fascinating physical phenomenon that is not yet completely understood. The magnetic properties of matter continue to inspire scientific curiosity and imagination, and magnetic materials ...

An all-superconducting magnet developed by Chinese scientists has recently achieved a world-record steady magnetic field strength of 35.1 tesla, a breakthrough which provides key technological support ...
