A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when electrical current flows through it. The last time the scientists who operate ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

An 8-year-old boy from the UK accidentally swallowed magnetic toy balls, which led to a medical emergency. He has since ...

The strength of the magnetic field is 0.3 milligauss. For comparison, a typical refrigerator magnet has a magnetic field of about 1,000,000 milligauss. For the first time astronomers have ...

(Our planet's magnetic field should look a lot like the field around a bar magnet, but electrically charged particles in the solar wind push against the magnetic field, so the side pointing away ...
