Scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the the interstellar medium, in turn generating stunning images ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a ...

NASA's X-ray space telescope IXPE has made the first observation of polarized light emerging from an outbursting magnetar, neutron stars that possess the universe's strongest magnetic fields.

Now, new research reveals that parallel space hurricanes swirl near the south magnetic ... wind (SN: 8/18/17). This barrage of charged particles from the sun splits magnetic field lines­.

Cool, dense dust is green; warmer dust is pink. The magnetic field lines, showing the direction of force, were undetectable before now. The map is a first step toward understanding how magnetism ...

These work thanks to tiny nickel particles suspended in an oily medium, and come in very handy if you want to examine, say, the magnetic field pattern of a DC electric motor. [Moritz v.

whereas the new data show that although magnetic field lines in the spiral arms do roughly align with the galaxy at large, at small scales the lines are actually spread out across a range of ...

The team found that the dust grains aligned with the magnetic field lines. This allowed the team to detect and measure the unseen magnetic field lines, much the same way iron filings can reveal ...

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as ... event by mapping the previous movements of Earth's magnetic field lines. According to NASA, the Laschamp event, occurred about 41,000 years ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous ... galaxy's swirling gases and magnetic lines create cosmic artwork in new ...

which is defined as the point at which magnetic field lines point vertically down. Unlike geomagnetic north, this position is more susceptible to the surges and flows in the swirl of liquid iron ...

is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where Earth's magnetic field lines point directly into the planet. The complex motion of the outer core causes the magnetic north pole to shift tens of ...
