In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

Earth’s magnetic north has just crossed an invisible threshold in the Arctic, slipping into a region that modern navigation ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

All celestial bodies — planets, suns, even entire galaxies — produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind ...

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 ...

In a paper published January 21 in Nature, a team led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have run complex numerical simulations of plasma flows that, while leading to turbulence, ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...

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

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...

Voyager 1 solar system edge revealed a sharp, energetic boundary. Here’s what it found, how NASA verified it and why it ...
