A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

The reason for copper's unique properties comes down to the configuration of its electrons. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Wires ...

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery" operating ...

Ancient bricks may be key to understanding Earth’s variable magnetic fields. Scientists examined the iron oxide levels of 3,000-year-old bricks to understand the level of magnetism the bricks were ...
