Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

When the US Department of Energy announced that it would stop funding the tokamak at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

Florida is building one of the first highways in the U.S. capable of charging electric vehicles in motion, a pilot project ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

The dual testing scheme using the Buffa–Christiansen (BC) basis function not only maintains the good convergence of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) but also improves its accuracy. However, ...

When New Times called Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields in late August, he apologized for his respiratory distress. He sounded a little congested, but his dulcifer baritone voice was unaffected ...

A major dip in the Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic has been puzzling scientists for over a century. An international team of researchers analyzed data collected by the European Space ...

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...

We study the Landau quantization of a spin-1/2 charged particle in the background of a spinning cosmic string, using the Pauli equation. The interaction between the particle’s spin, the magnetic field ...

What do solar flares, lab-grown plasma, and a nebula 25,000 light-years away have in common? A cosmic twist, literally. In a breakthrough that braids together the Sun’s outer atmosphere and the heart ...
