From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth is quietly sending out a slow magnetic heartbeat. Every seven ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...

Scientists are mapping the Milky Way galaxy’s invisible magnetic field, revealing how it holds the galaxy together and ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...
