Stars form when vast clouds of cold gas in space collapse under their own gravity. But not all gas collapses, and not all ...

Researchers at Australia's space agency have built the largest map of the universe's magnetic fields yet ...

Light from nearly 4m galaxies measured as it twisted and travelled through intergalactic space ...

Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, stars, and ultimately galaxies – move through space. We still don’t know how ...

We are all very familiar with the concept of the Earth's magnetic field. It turns out that most objects in space have magnetic fields but it's quite tricky to measure them. Astronomers have developed ...

The magnetic field orientations of BYF 73, as derived from SOFIA data, are overlain on a composite image of the region taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and Anglo-Australian Telescope. The circled ...

Researchers from The Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University developed a new unexpensive method of magnetic field mapping. Using 3D-printer and common laboratory equipment their team created automatic ...

Magnetic field sensing and mapping are important for many scientific and technological applications across both physical 1,2,3,4,5,6 and biological systems 7,8,9. Compared to classical methods, ...

This was achieved using TRACERS, NASA's twin satellites to sample and analyze high-energy electrons.

Mapping the Earth’s magnetic field – to find oil, track storms or probe the planet’s interior – typically requires expensive satellites. University of California, Berkeley, physicists have now come up ...
