Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

But, there may be another way, albeit a rather special case, where a magnet can not only be levitated, but locked in place using a rotating magnetic field. The video shows a demonstration of how ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports ... or orientation of the fluidic flow device—by rotating the tube clockwise and anticlockwise. "Put simply, we found that fluid flow coupled with magnetic ...

This approach can now be used to determine the rotation rate of any celestial object with a magnetic field and auroras — including exoplanets. Uranus just got a little more time on its hands.
