Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

Gravitational forces that make things fall down to the ground – unless another force stops them. An apple falling from a tree falls straight down. A ball thrown up, comes back down. And so do we ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

The incredible power of magnetism brings objects to life through precise diamagnetic levitation. With carefully controlled forces, materials defy gravity, creating a mesmerizing floating effect. This ...

Some of the most sensitive methods of measuring magnetic fields use interactions of resonant light with atomic vapour. Recent developments in this vibrant field have led to improvements in ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...

Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale. MFM is based on the ...
