Scientists in Britain have been keeping an eye on where the Earth's magnetic north pole is. It's not fixed like the geographical North Pole; instead, it's like a wandering star. Recently, they found ...

Radio waves have been detected from what appears to be a pulsar, with just one problem – it‘s spinning thousands of times ...

Retired Canadian Space Agency astronaut Marc Garneau describes the time he picked up a spinning satellite in space known as ...

Heat is supposed to ruin anything it touches. But physicists have shown that an idealized form of magnetism is heatproof.

When some of the biggest stars reach the end of their lives, they explode in spectacular supernovas and leave behind ...

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...

"In these environments of neutron stars, the magnetic fields are really at the limits of what the universe can produce." Fireworks are likely dying down in your neighborhood as New Year's ...

Results of the new research, published Dec. 24 on the preprint server arXiv, yield important insights into the properties of the system, proving that it contains a massive and fast-spinning white ...

Perhaps you, like us, bought a home spin bike or rowing machine in January. Most likely by March, you realised you’ve used it a lot less than you planned. And very probably by June, it has ...

At such close range, the burst likely emerged from the neutron star's magnetosphere -- a highly magnetic region immediately surrounding the ultracompact star. The team's findings provide the first ...
