Earth’s trusty magnetic field has been keeping the planet safe for at least 3.7 billion years. There’s a chance it might have ...

A team of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Type One Energy Group has ...

A major breakthrough in magnetic confinement could help unlock clean, runaway-free fusion energy using stellarator designs.

Abundant, low-cost, clean energy—the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method ...

When British physicist Roger Penrose suggested in 1969 that energy could be pulled from a rotating black hole, it sparked a ...

Because it is so hot, it cannot simply be contained; instead, it is held in place by a magnetic field. Current efforts involve generating the magnetic field around the area where the plasma is ...

Credit: SciTechDaily.com Quantum magnetometers can detect incredibly small changes in magnetic fields by tapping into the strange and powerful features of quantum physics. These devices rely on the ...

During the Laschamps excursion, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, while the magnetic poles shifted dramatically away from the geographic poles. “The excursio ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." Magnetars are surrounded by the most powerful magnetic fields in the known ...

This anomaly, characterized by unusually strong magnetic field readings, spans hundreds of kilometers and represents one of the most prominent subsurface features in North America. Unlike visible ...
