A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

The burst's host galaxy is more than halfway across the observable universe and up to 100 times fainter than other host ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

Fluid-rock interactions on ancient Mars may have produced abundant magnetic minerals that preserved unusually intense records ...

A team of astronomers has identified a new polar cataclysmic variable, a rare type of binary star system featuring a highly ...

or the tilt of magnetic field lines relative to Earth’s surface, and intensity, or the strength of the magnetic field. The researchers generated mismatched magnetic fields by combining the ...

Across drought-prone California, high-voltage power lines that haven’t been needed in years hang unused from steel towers — a ...

Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are central in the landscape of extreme phenomena such as hypernovae, fast ...

Some animals that migrate across the globe -- such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles -- are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's north to south pole.

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
