The primary target of the Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission is the electron-scale diffusion layer around reconnection sites. Here we study where these regions are found in full three-dimensional ...

Geomagnetic storms are triggered by magnetic fields in the solar wind ... We need to proactively find structures like these ...

You've heard the term Magnafluxed. To most, it means taking a part and checking it for cracks. Typically, the teardown guy brings a part to the "Mag" unit, wets it down with solution, presses the ...

Imagine that you're a scientist, going out on a limb to design and build an experiment that everyone expects will see absolutely nothing. You're invested in physics at the fringes: looking for a sign ...

Any project that contains something called a “flux modulator” instantly commands our attention. And while we’re pretty sure that [Retsetman] didn’t invent it after hitting his head on the toilet, this ...

What if you could charge your phone (or device) without having to worry about the charging cable? Well, you can. This is the idea behind wireless charging. In short, you place your device on some type ...

Astronomers found a highly unusual star that has the most powerful magnetic field ever found in a massive star -- and that may become one of the most magnetic objects in the Universe: a variant of a ...

Research team including NOIRLab astronomer identify highly unusual star that may evolve into a magnetar — the most magnetic object in the known Universe “For the first time, a strong magnetic field ...
