Cosmic magnetic fields, though invisible to the naked eye, are pervasive throughout the universe, influencing galactic structure and star formation, and their energy is significant relative to a ...

Somewhere far away in the universe, a star bursts and a cascade begins. Energy and small bits of matter speed away in every direction from the blooming supernova. They impact planets and other stars ...

Particle accelerators have helped researcher to draw new leading limits on the existence of magnetic monopoles from the collisions of energetic cosmic rays bombarding the Earth's atmosphere. Some of ...

Our planet's invisible shield is changing in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Over the past two hundred years, Earth's magnetic field has weakened by around nine percent on a ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — containing the equivalent magnetic energy of a human brain. When you ...

It is a great shame that the history of physics is not an integral part of a standard university physics education. Teaching it would provide an ideal means of dragging the laboratory- and ...

The north magnetic pole is moving eastward at an accelerating pace. Is doomsday nigh? By The Editorial Board The editorial board represents the opinions of the board, its editor and the publisher. It ...
