Certain substances can become magnetic when exposed to an external magnetic field. Magnetic susceptibility measures how ...

Astrophysicist Tomoaki Matsumoto and collaborators have used three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic supercomputer simulations ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...

New simulations show that interactions with a magnetic field can work to decrease the distance between still forming binary ...

The largest magnetic map of the universe ever produced—five times larger than all previous efforts combined—marks the ...

Magnetic fields may be the hidden force bringing both newborn stars and giant black holes together. New computer simulations ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth’s magnetic fields, especially at night or in overcast conditions when visual landmarks or ...

This combined analysis revealed the presence of superparamagnetic macrophages in homing pigeon livers. Macrophages are ...

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 ...
