We are in the midst of a new era in space exploration, one in which everyone from NASA to Elon Musk's SpaceX have expressed interest in the idea of sending humans to Mars and even establishing ...

While magnetars are the undisputed masters of magnetism in the classical world, the quantum magnetic fields found in quark-gluon plasma is 10,000 times stronger. Using the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Space is a bad place, and it’ll always conspire to kill creatures as frail as we humans are. But that isn’t stopping us from going up there, in a bid to conquer the vast expanse. And to do that, we ...

Every minute matters in the event of a tsunami, and over the years we have seen a number of interesting ideas around how these giant waves might be better predicted ahead of time. These include ...

Yale researchers may have solved a longstanding puzzle as to why certain metallic meteorites show traces of a magnetic field — a finding that may shed light on the formation of magnetic dynamos at the ...

We may finally know the secret to how migrating birds can sense Earth’s magnetic fields: a molecule in their eyes called cryptochrome 4 that is sensitive to magnetism, potentially giving the animals ...
