The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

Lab top accretion disc: Cutaway diagram of the experimental setup used by Wang and colleagues. The data shown in the left portion of the gap between cylinders illustrates the simulated shear profile ...

A new study published in Nature may have solved one of astrophysics’ most persistent mysteries: how the universe creates enormous, organized magnetic fields from violent turbulence. Using some of the ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

A fluid that retains its magnetic structure when an external magnetic field is removed can form the basis of liquid bioelectronics 1. A ferrofluid is a substance consisting of nanometre-sized magnetic ...

Millions of people have a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, which causes the heart’s upper chambers or atria to beat chaotically rather than in a smooth, coordinated rhythm. For many, ...

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...
