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 ...

Geologists discovered ancient rocks in Greenland that preserve the oldest known traces of Earth’s early magnetic field.

During the Ediacaran period, approximately between 630 and 540 million years ago, Earth has remained a persistent and ...

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

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] ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

(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 ...

Magnetism destroys superconductivity. Physicists take that premise as gospel. But according to a 1986 theory initially considered outlandish, superconductivity should reappear in a material if it is ...

One of the most peculiar things about Uranus and Neptune is their magnetic fields. Each of these planets has a hot mess of a magnetosphere, off-kilter and tilted wildly from the rotational axis in a ...
