How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

ALMA observations of the protoplanetary disk around HD 142527. The white bars show the directions of the magnetic field revealed by the orientation of the dust grains. The strength of the magnetic ...

This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.

Yet, somehow, about 7% of the most massive stars have been observed to possess a magnetic field. The question that has perplexed astronomers is: How? The answer to this secret may lie within HD ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the ...

In its second phase, NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission -- MMS -- is watching magnetic reconnection in action behind Earth, as shown here by the tangled blue and red magnetic field lines.

Now, a new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, reveals loggerhead turtles, the most abundant sea turtle species nesting in the United States, learn the magnetic fields of specific ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...
