A challenge in plasma physics has been to understand multi-scale coupling, a process where particle-level turbulence scales ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each da… ...

Sometimes, the magnetic fields are relatively weak, like the ones that thread their way through the spiral arms of galaxies. Sometimes, they're medium-strength, like Earth's.

Deep in the heart of our galaxy lies one of the most chaotic and mysterious regions in space. Now, scientists have created ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from.

The magnetic fields play a huge role in solar eruptions. Magnetic field lines are constantly roiling, tangling, stretching, snapping, and reconnecting.

The images map out properties such as fractal density and magnetic field lines. The interstellar medium in our Milky Way galaxy is magnetic, can be compressed, and is turbulent.

To map the galaxy’s magnetic field lines, Dr. Chuss and his colleagues flew at 45,000 feet aboard the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, a 747 outfitted for astronomy.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

For instance, innovative designs of non-intrusive, split-core harvesters have been demonstrated as effective in seizing magnetic fields around power lines, thereby enabling self-powered wireless ...

The sun’s looping magnetic field lines, which form a tangled web of structures more complex than those on Earth, are difficult to study directly. To grasp what’s going on, scientists create ...
