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 ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

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 ...

Numerical simulations provide a mechanism that explains how celestial objects such as stars and galaxies can generate ordered, macroscopic magnetic fields. The mechanism arises from turbulence — ...

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 ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Particle detector Calculations suggest that millicharged dark matter could be detected by observing its interaction with ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...
