In a storage ring like BESSY II electrons circulate nearly with the speed of light passing complex magnetic structures. These magnets guide the electron beam and focus it on the ideal orbit. They are ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

Scientists have long struggled to understand how common planets form. A new supercomputer simulation shows that the missing ingredient may be magnetism. We like to think of ourselves as unique. That ...

Magnum represents a dramatic breakthrough in cost and computational power. The complete 3D design package for Windows XP or Vista is priced at less than $5000. With regard to speed and accuracy, ...

Simulation of ferrofluid literally climbing up a magnetized steel helix. Credit: 2019 KAUST Ferrofluids, with their mesmeric display of shape-shifting spikes, are a favorite exhibit in science shows.

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, but new data shows otherwise.

New simulations suggest that the origins of the sun's explosive storms could lie much closer to its surface than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Astronomers are baffled by a strange jet of particles shooting from a black hole. Observations of the unusual flare contradict current models of black holes and their powerful magnetic ...
