With greater control over the quantum realm, physicists are poised to make major leaps in quantum computing, quantum gravity and more.

The interstellar medium in our Milky Way galaxy is magnetic, can be compressed, and is turbulent. It affects important ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 years. While this solar polarity shift is not dangerous, it can impact space ...

Twentieth-century explorations answered many questions about our satellite and its place in the solar system. But they also ...

Where did the moon's magnetism go? Scientists have puzzled over this question for decades, ever since orbiting spacecraft ...

The images map out properties such as fractal density and magnetic field lines, resembling abstract works of art. "Turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in classical mechanics ...

Understanding Jupiter's early evolution helps illuminate the broader story of how our solar system developed its distinct ...

Where did they come from? Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have a bold suggestion: the Moon used to have a weak magnetic field, and then something made it spike.
