Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense magnetic activity and often trigger solar eruptions—appear at mid-latitudes and ...

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets fabricated at EPFL’s Center of MicroNanoTechnology. (Courtesy: Mingran Xu, Dirk ...

A liquid injected into the heart that sets like a gel could one day prevent strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, animal tests suggest.

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

What if industrial waste could move on its own? This 4D printing method turns sulfur into soft robots that respond to heat, ...

New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions about its solidity.

A joint research team has developed the first 4D printing technology built from industrial ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

Atrial fibrillation is a common heart condition characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat stemming from the heart's upper chamber. It is a leading cause of stroke from clots that form in a small ...

For as long as scientists have been trying to understand the behavior of the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma, there have ...
