Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has mapped a magnetic ...

Scientists suggest superionic “hot black ice” deep inside Neptune may explain its tilted, offset and chaotic magnetic field, ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Over 40,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a full reversal, a rare phenomenon in which the North and South ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid.

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system. Unlike the wind we feel .

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...
