Recent breakthroughs show magnetic fields behaving in unexpected ways, from reviving superconductivity in nickelates to self-magnetizing fusion plasmas. These findings challenge long-held assumptions ...

The mechanism that can cause a rapidly expanding plasma—the superhot state of matter harnessed in fusion energy systems—to ...

Solar radio bursts are intrinsically linked to the motion of their emitting source through the coronal and heliospheric ...

Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and ...

Inside a concrete-and-steel facility in Devens, Massachusetts, a crane lowered a 20-ton high-temperature superconducting ...

Their study, published in Science Advances, suggests that a weak internal magnetic field could have been dramatically amplified by massive asteroid impacts. These impacts, they propose, created clouds ...

“In the Sun’s atmosphere, the magnetic field is the driving force. It also plays a decisive role in all processes that ...

Twentieth-century explorations answered many questions about our satellite and its place in the solar system. But they also raised many new and challenging questions that still remain unanswered. One ...
