A magnet-producing bacterium extended the average lifespan of C. elegans worms by more than 43% while helping protect their neurological and intestinal health. Researchers traced much of the effect to ...

Approximately 63 light-years from Earth lies a planetary system so young that it's less than 1 percent as old as our solar system. It is called Beta Pictoris, and—as far as astronomers have ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers have shown that magnetic order can survive weak quantum fluctuations in disordered magnets that lack an energy gap. The work ...

Scientists have transformed data from one of Earth’s most dramatic magnetic disturbances into an unusual soundscape, allowing listeners to hear the changes that affected the planet’s protective ...

The COVID-19 pandemic clearly demonstrated the importance of rapid and reliable diagnostic methods for detecting and monitoring infectious diseases. Nucleic acids, including RNA, are key biomarkers ...

An unusual rock buried on the far side of the moon is providing fresh clues for a longstanding scientific puzzle: the ancient lunar magnetic field. The characteristics of the large rock body, ...

Beta Pictoris b appears to have an aurora caused by a powerful magnetic field. If confirmed, it would be the first such field known outside our solar system. By Jonathan O’Callaghan Radio waves ...

A research team led by Professor Jung-Il Hong of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST has successfully used current pulses to alter the spin configuration within a ferrimagnetic material, ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a surprisingly simple way to turn polyethylene, the common plastic used in shopping bags and cutting boards, into gasoline and diesel-like ...
