Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information. Researchers ...

Within their planetary systems, stars are continuously shaping their orbiting planets through gravity, radiation and magnetic forces. So far, this relationship has appeared to be a one-way street. But ...

For most of human history, our view of “close to the Sun” was defined by the orbit of Mercury, with its 88-day orbit and barren, baking surface. But from the moment we started discovering exoplanets, ...

On June 30, at an Anthropic event in San Francisco called “The Briefing: AI for Science,” Amodei didn’t declare that AI’s impact on biology and other sciences had unleashed that effect, or was about ...

The universe has far stranger threats than asteroids. Scientists have warned that Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere could collapse in about a billion years, while rarer dangers include rogue black holes, ...

We demonstrate the step-by-step process of mixing iron filings with common household ingredients to create a batch of responsive magnetic sand. Trump's Mount Rushmore address features 28 minutes of ...

Perseverance strikes again with an intriguing — yet unresolved — clue in the search for past life on Mars. In an ancient river channel, the rover detected complex organic carbon within and on rocks, ...
