A new study suggests Ganymede—our neighborhood's biggest moon—still has a hot, churning core cranking out its unique magnetic ...

A new study published in Nature may have solved one of astrophysics’ most persistent mysteries: how the universe creates enormous, organized magnetic fields from violent turbulence. Using some of the ...

Deep beneath the surface of the sun lies a razor-thin transition zone called the tachocline. Despite being only a sliver in size, the tachocline is believed to be the engine room of the un’s magnetic ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

Scientists have shown that changing magnetic fields in precise ways can create exotic quantum matter that does not normally ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

Ganymede is not only Jupiter's largest moon, but also the largest in our solar system and one of the few that hosts a massive ...

"Their magnetic fields—which arise from minuscule details of the planet's makeup—can tell us a lot about their formation and evolution, and the evolution of our universe." The team will incorporate ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
