For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

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

Understand the energy density of electric and magnetic fields by exploring how energy is stored and distributed in electromagnetic fields. This video explains the underlying physics, key equations, ...

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet." ...

Scientists suggest superionic “hot black ice” deep inside Neptune may explain its tilted, offset and chaotic magnetic field, ...

The magnetic north pole has been wandering through the Arctic for decades, but lately, its changing path has grabbed the ...

A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

Auroras occur when solar wind collides with Earth’s magnetic field, creating dazzling lights. Learn why auroras appear in red ...

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system. Unlike the wind we feel .

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...
