A Kyoto University team has discovered that magnetic field geometry inside massive stars can either slow or accelerate their rotation in the final stages before collapse. Using 3D magnetohydrodynamic ...

Research BackgroundWhen walking through a dense forest, a compass is indispensable for knowing which direction to take, and it works because the Earth ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind, high-energy particle transport, and galaxy formation. Small-scale ...

Scientists in Japan have confirmed through advanced simulations that an Earth-like dipole magnetic field can stably exist in two opposite polarities with equal likelihood. This discovery offers a ...

Scientists thought they knew what happened to stars in their dotage, but thanks to new supercomputer simulations, we now ...
