By extending a proof of a physically important behavior in one-dimensional quantum spin systems to higher dimensions, a RIKEN ...

To their surprise, when the model was allowed to run under these conditions, a tachocline emerged on its own. Even more revealing, the simulations showed that the magnetic fields produced in the ...

In the late 1980s, scientists realized they could understand the interior properties of the sun by observing the sound waves ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

Magnetism is everywhere in the universe today—from the Earth’s protective magnetic shield to the powerful fields surrounding ...

Sustained radio emissions originating from high over a sunspot are getting researchers thinking in new directions. Unlike solar radio bursts — which typically last only minutes or hours — these have ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
