New Hubble Picture Gives First Peek Inside Crab Nebula

Astronomers at last have a clear glimpse of the eye of a massive celestial storm.

Scientists create 'rewritable magnetic charge ice'

Scientists have developed a new material, called 'rewritable magnetic charge ice,' that permits an unprecedented degree of control over local magnetic fields and could pave the way for new computing technologies.

The secret life of the Orion Nebula

Amelia Stutz and Andrew Gould from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg are bringing gravity and magnetic fields into play. To test their idea, they undertook a detailed investigation of the Orion Nebula, 1300 light-years away.

Space mission first to observe key interaction between magnetic fields of Earth and sun.

Physicists have now provided the first major results of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, including an unprecedented look at the interaction between the magnetic fields of Earth and the sun.

Scientists in Spain create first ever "magnetic wormhole" in lab

  • 28 Jan 2016

A device was designed capable of transmitting the magnetic field from one point in space to another.

Gravitation under human control? Physicist proposes using magnetic fields to produce and detect gravitational fields

Produce and detect gravitational fields at will using magnetic fields, control them for studying them, work with them to produce new technologies -- it sounds daring, but one physicist has proposed just that in a new article. If followed, this proposal could transform physics and shake up Einstein

Hybrid magnetic sensor is 200 times more sensitive

Magnetic sensors are in everything from home appliances to car-counters at the drive-through. A new technology promises to make them cheaper and smaller.

The world's biggest volcano is a magnetic mix-up

Five weeks of mapping at sea suggests two possible origins for the underwater Tamu Massif.
