High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, however, is protected by its magnetic field, which creates a protective ...

Magnetic moment is an intrinsic property of a particle with spin, arising from interaction between the particle and a magnet or other object with a magnetic field. Like mass and electric charge, ...

The study involves a rotating, or Kerr, black hole — an object so massive its spin distorts spacetime itself. Using advanced simulations that combine Einstein’s theory of general relativity with ...

Magnetic tweezers are a versatile single-molecule manipulation technique that uses magnetic fields to apply forces and torques on magnetic particles attached to biological molecules, such as DNA, RNA, ...

The futurist Arthur C. Clarke famously said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Well, a team of physicists just showed that a common particle production method ...
