A newly discovered mechanism known as microtube implosion could make it possible to generate magnetic fields 1000 times stronger than any yet seen in the laboratory. According to the researchers who ...

A small star named M82 X-2 breaks physical barriers, as NASA's NuSTAR confirms it shines 10 million times brighter than the ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through, a pure messenger of energy and information that leaves magnetic order ...

High field: Sawtooth-like inner blades on the cylindrical target induce off-axis charged flows under ultra-intense laser irradiation, driving strong loop currents and generating sub-megatesla magnetic ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden published their findings in Advanced Materials, demonstrating a material that allows two competing magnetic forces to coexist within a single ...
