All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Charged particle dynamics in electromagnetic fields is a fundamental area of research that underpins much of modern physics and engineering. This field examines how particles, typically electrons or ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These giants — some are billions of times heavier than our sun — can shoot out ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

The majestic auroras have captivated humans for thousands of years, but their nature — the fact that the lights are electromagnetic and respond to solar activity — was only realized in the last 150 ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

During the Age of Sail, ships circled the globe on voyages of discovery and trade. That era ended in the 1800s, when coal-fired steam engines began to replace wind power. Now we may be entering a new ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Jinxing Li and Christopher H. Contag delve into magnetobiology, which utilizes magnetic fields to manipulate and control ...
