Many objects in the Universe have magnetic fields. Planets such as Earth and Jupiter, the Sun and other stars, even galaxies billions of light years away.
An article recently published by the European Space Agency reported a recent study conducted by two groups of astronomers regarding the existence of life on Europa.
SBQuantum, the first company developing diamond quantum magnetometers capable of providing vector measurements of both the amplitude and the orientation of Earth's magnetic field, today announces it has been selected as a participant in the final phases of the MagQuest Challenge, along with its partner, Spire Global.
Astronomers have created a preview of what the sky might look like in gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time caused by objects in orbit.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide.
One of the most interesting and important questions in cosmology is, “How much matter exists in the universe?”
International astronomers using a telescope owned and operated by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have revealed a galaxy wrapped in a cosmic ‘ribbon’.
After exposure in space aboard the International Space Station, a new kind of surface treatment significantly reduced the growth of biofilms, scientists report. Biofilms are mats of microbial or fungal growth that can clog hoses or filters in water processing systems, or potentially cause illness in people.
In order to obtain information about dark matter and dark energy from the huge amounts of data to be generated by the new ESA probe Euclid, astrophysicist Laila Linke and her team in Innsbruck are using novel statistical methods.
An international research team has discovered for the first time the magnetic field transport mechanisms in a black hole’s accretion flow and the production of a “MAD”—a magnetically arrested disk—in its surrounding area.
