In a new study, scientists have mapped magnetic fields in galaxy clusters, revealing the impact of galactic mergers on magnetic-field structures and challenging previous assumptions about the ...

We are all very familiar with the concept of the Earth's magnetic field. It turns out that most objects in space have magnetic fields but it's quite tricky to measure them. Astronomers have developed ...

The magnetic field orientations of BYF 73, as derived from SOFIA data, are overlain on a composite image of the region taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and Anglo-Australian Telescope. The circled ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. I've long been awed by photographs of the night sky, but one of the latest images to stop me in my tracks isn't a "photograph" at ...

Mapping the Earth’s magnetic field – to find oil, track storms or probe the planet’s interior – typically requires expensive satellites. University of California, Berkeley, physicists have now come up ...

Seattle, WA. – Astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) have unveiled a first-of-its-kind map that could help answer decades-old questions about the origins of stars ...

Electron holography exploits the wave nature of electrons in a transmission electron microscope to record the phase shift induced by electrostatic and magnetic potentials within a specimen. By ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

The Animal That Reads the Earth A reef manta ray tagged off the Maldives in 2015 travelled over 1,100 kilometres in a single ...
