Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...
New research conducted by UW’s aeronautics and astronautics department has uncovered how scientists extract electricity from ...
Magnetic fields thread the largest structures in the observable universe. They trace the filaments of the cosmic web, wind ...
Numerical simulations provide a mechanism that explains how celestial objects such as stars and galaxies can generate ordered, macroscopic magnetic fields. The mechanism arises from turbulence — ...
As black holes feed, they pull material into a disk around them. The material orbiting in this disk gets heated to extreme temperatures, and so it becomes a plasma — a state of matter in which some of ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...
It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening. Two of our best ways of measuring the cosmic expansion rate, the ...
Designing predictable nuclear fusion reactors requires highly accurate computer models, yet existing simulations often ...
The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...
