The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

The magnetic field that threads through our galaxy is millions of times weaker than a refrigerator magnet, but it nevertheless is a guiding force for matter in the interstellar medium.

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...

The magnetic field in the interstellar medium is created by the movement of gas and plasma. ... The simulation is described in a study published May 13 in the journal Nature Astronomy.

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.
