The magnetic field orientations of BYF 73, as derived from SOFIA data, are overlain on a composite image of the region taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and Anglo-Australian Telescope. The circled ...

Magnetic fields are all around us. We can’t really feel or see them ourselves, per se, but we can map them with the right ...

For centuries, astronomers have been observing celestial bodies and trying to understand the mysteries of the night sky. Dr. Jo-Anne Brown, PhD, wants to map an invisible force of the Milky Way galaxy ...

For decades after its discovery, observers could only see the solar chromosphere for a few fleeting moments: during a total solar eclipse, when a bright red glow ringed the Moon’s silhouette. More ...

Electron holography exploits the wave nature of electrons in a transmission electron microscope to record the phase shift induced by electrostatic and magnetic potentials within a specimen. By ...

Researchers from The Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University developed a new unexpensive method of magnetic field mapping. Using 3D-printer and common laboratory equipment their team created automatic ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. A NASA-funded collaboration led by Villanova University ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn’t clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

New research is turning a long‑standing hunch about sea turtles into a detailed map of how these animals read the planet itself. Scientists are now showing that turtles do not just sense Earth’s ...
