Scientists reproduced the dynamics behind high-energy astrophysical shocks
Now experiments led by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in the Princeton Center for Heliophysics have for the first time reproduced the process behind the source of astrophysical shocks.
IBS researchers performed world’s smallest MRI on single atoms
Researchers at the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) at Ewha Womans University in collaboration with colleagues from...
New small, compact coil generated world’s strongest continuous magnetic field
Researchers at the Florida State University-based National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have created a toilet paper roll-sized magnet which is less than a centimeter...
Jets and winds from galaxy cores appear to share a common cause
Fundamental considerations of the energy supply in large-scale extragalactic radio sources("radio galaxies") led astronomers to predict that these sources should contain jets or beams...
Some humans can sense Earth’s magnetic field, suggests study
Magnetoreception, the perception of the geomagnetic field, is a sensory modality well-established across all major groups of vertebrates and some invertebrates, but its presence...
What magnetic fields can tell us about life on other planets?
Earth has a magnetic field – it’s what makes compasses align north-south and lets us navigate the oceans. It also protects the atmosphere, and...
Magnetic fields may be the key to black hole activity
Black holes are objects so dense, and with so much mass, that even light cannot escape their gravity. However, astronomers can study the effects...
Newly developed instrument provides new look at supermassive black hole’s magnetic field
Scientists for the first time, have created a map by using the CanariCam infrared camera attached to the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) sited on...
Scientists have created a new model pointing to black holes’ role in galaxy formation
Scientists have gained new insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies by developing and programming a new simulation model for the universe —...
