Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

Understanding the distribution of nanoparticles injected into a tumor can guide clinical cancer treatments.

New research led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has confirmed decades-old theoretical models of magnetic reconnection, the process that releases stored magnetic energy to drive solar flares, ...

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the current is flowing and of an applied magnetic field. This physical phenomenon ...

Sustained radio emissions originating from high over a sunspot are getting researchers thinking in new directions. Unlike solar radio bursts — which typically last only minutes or hours — these have ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Theoretical physicists develop mathematical models to describe material systems, which they can then use to make predictions about how materials will behave. One of the most important models is the ...
