Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory ...

Solar magnetism is a fundamental driver of dynamic phenomena on the Sun, manifesting in cyclic variations such as sunspot activity, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Central to this process is the ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

A new study develops a theory of how magnetic switchbacks are formed around the sun. This quantitative model can be used to predict magnetic field variations and potentially explain the heating and ...

HANOVER, N.H. – April 28, 2022 – When magnetic field lines of opposite directions merge, they create explosions that can release massive amounts of energy. On the sun, the merging of opposing field ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...

Physicists show that magnetoelastic coupling, present in nearly all magnets, can generate skyrmion arrays without crystal ...

New home: the Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall at Fermilab, where it studies precession of muons. (Courtesy: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab) A long-standing discrepancy between the predicted and measured ...
