As interest in space travel grows – for both research and commercial aims – it is increasingly important to understand the effect a microgravity environment can have on the human hea...
The most high-energy of these astrophysical shocks occur too far outside the solar system to be studied in detail and have long puzzled astrophysicists. We have for the first time de...
Polarization spectra of the hydrogen Lyman-α line from the Sun taken by the CLASP sounding rocket experiment. CLASP is a project to investigate the magnetic fields in the upper chrom...
DGIST research team led by Professor CheolGi Kim has developed a biosensor platform which has 20 times faster detection capability than the existing biosensors using magnetic pattern...
These collaborations provide the Juno science team with a ‘forecast’ of the gas giant’s intense weather systems and powerful aurorae to compare with Juno close observations. This mod...
Scientists Barry Barish, left, and Kip Thorne, both of the California Institute of Technology, share a toast to celebrate winning the Nobel Prize in Physics Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017, in...
A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that non-migratory birds also are able to use a built-in compass to orient themselves using the Earth’s magnetic field. The researche...
Europa is almost the same size as Earth’s moon, while Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System, is larger than planet Mercury. Credit: NASA/JPL/DLR Demanding electric, magneti...
At the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference in February, Krishnaswamy’s group unveiled a new device: the first magnet-free non-reciprocal circulator on a silicon chip t...
As a team of researchers from the Center for Research in Earth and Space Sciences (CRESS) at York University, demonstrated, Curiosity obtained of some rather interesting images of Ma...
Previously, many experiments exhibited cell changes – after hours or even days in zero gravity. Based on real-time readings on the ISS, UZH scientists can now reveal that cells are a...
A key question in biology is understanding how the brain works. Its basic working units, the neurons, transmit information in the form of electrical impulses and chemical signals. Ne...
Figure 1: ATLAS event display of the electron channel event with the highest transverse mass found in the 13 TeV data in the search for the W’ boson. The particular symmetry related ...
SLAC and Stanford researchers demonstrate that brain-mimicking ‘neural networks’ can revolutionize the way astrophysicists analyze their most complex data Menlo Park, Calif. – Resea...
If some magnetic materials, such as iron oxides, are small enough - perhaps a few millionths of a millimeter across, smaller than most viruses - they have an unusual property: their ...
They have developed methods to counter the spontaneous loss of magnetisation, based on their understanding of the underlying physical phenomenon. Roman Morgunov from the Institute of...
Now, following the first detection of the elusive waves with ground-based experiments and the successful performance of ESA’s LISA Pathfinder mission, which demonstrated some of the ...
Using data from NASA’s Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, or THEMIS, scientists have observed Earth’s vibrating magnetic field in relation to the no...
NASA’s Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS, which will continue its study of the sun thanks to a recent mission extension, watches what is known as the interface region, t...

Astronomers have measured the orbital parameters of four millisecond pulsars in the globular cluster 47 Tuc and modeled their possible formation and evolution paths. Credit: European...
(Courtesy: NanoRobotics Laboratory/Polytechnique Montreal) Bacteria that respond to magnetic fields and low oxygen levels may soon join the fight against cancer. With further develo...
Magnetic structure of a multferroic material taken from the database in (a) and (b) with different magnetic symmetry and no multiferroic character. In 1976, an important effort was m...
The gravitational force of an object is also dependent on distance – i.e. the amount it exerts on an object decreases with increased distance. It also governs the orbits of the plane...
Atoms can be used to measure the acceleration due to gravity by cooling a gas of them to near absolute zero and then dropping them along two different paths in an interferometer. Whi...
