The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

A collaborative research team from Tsinghua University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and the Hong Kong University of Science and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Schematic view of (top) currently used HAMR and (bottom) three-dimensional magnetic recording systems. In the three-dimensional magnetic recording system, the Curie temperature of each recording layer ...

Laser heating generates a temperature gradient in the MnPt layer, which induces spin currents (green arrows) that are injected into the FePt layer. These spin currents generate spin torque, which ...

Magnetic fields thread the largest structures in the observable universe. They trace the filaments of the cosmic web, wind ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new recording principle that improves recording efficiency by 35% by combining spin torque with conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). This advancement is ...
