Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

June 5 (UPI) --Astronomers have successfully measured the shape of the magnetic field in the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere. Solar winds, streams of high-energy particles, ...

Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...
