The "Star Wars" universe has an answer to one of the its potentially grossest lightsaber mysteries -- namely, why the iconic ...

Auroras occur when solar wind collides with Earth’s magnetic field, creating dazzling lights. Learn why auroras appear in red ...

Scientists suggest superionic “hot black ice” deep inside Neptune may explain its tilted, offset and chaotic magnetic field, ...

A giant solar flare on our sun was powered by an avalanche of smaller magnetic disturbances, providing the clearest insight yet into how energy from our star is released in a torrent of high-energy ...

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...
