Shenar’s astronomy research team used an instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to look for the chemical fingerprints that magnetic fields can leave on a star’s spectrum and found HD45166 ...

Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects we know about, with magnetic fields so strong that chemistry becomes impossible in their vicinity. They’re neutron stars with a superfluid interior that ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

Collisions of heavy ions generate an immensely strong electromagnetic field. Scientists investigate traces of this powerful electromagnetic field in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state where quarks ...

Probing the evolution of magnetic fields generated in heavy-ion collisions can offer key insights into fundamental physical phenomena, including the nature of the early universe. In heavy-ion ...
