As black holes feed, they pull material into a disk around them. The material orbiting in this disk gets heated to extreme temperatures, and so it becomes a plasma — a state of matter in which some of ...
How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...
Explains how tokamaks confine hot plasma with magnetic fields to enable fusion, challenges, and global research efforts like ...
When NASA's Voyager 2 robotic probe flew by Uranus and Neptune in the 1980s, it uncovered an anomaly: their magnetic fields ...
New research suggests that this unusual history could help scientists better understand the magnetic fields found inside ...
It’s well established that the universe is expanding, but there’s serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it’s happening. Two of our best ways of measuring the cosmic expansion rate, the ...
A team of researchers has produced the first global, three-dimensional estimates of the sun's magnetic field, including the ...
Quantum technology often gets pitched as a faster kind of computing. This research points in a different direction first: control. By changing a magnetic field on a schedule, rather than leaving it ...
