Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Astronomers have discovered that the birth of neutron stars with magnetic fields trillions of times stronger than Earth's magnetosphere is the "magic trick" behind superbright supernovas.

The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Mining the far reaches of the universe for clues about its past, a team of scientists including Philipp Kronberg of Los Alamos National Laboratory has proposed that magnetic fields ...

Primordial magnetic fields are hypothesised to have been generated during the earliest moments of the Universe, potentially during phase transitions such as the electroweak epoch. These ancient fields ...

Einstein initially overlooked the prediction that space itself should be expanding, even though it emerged directly from his theory of general relativity. To this day, we have not unraveled all the ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Insight-HXMT’s discovery of the fundamental electron cyclotron absorption line near 146 keV for the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J 0243.6+6124. Neutron stars have the strongest ...

(Nanowerk News) The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the Universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism ...
