Ordered magnetic fields spontaneously emerge out of chaotic, tangled fields. This finding is consistent with astrophysical observations. Streamlines of magnetic fields are 3D-rendered and are colored ...

Madison, Wis.,--In an underground bunker that brushes up against a barnyard on one side and a cornfield on the other, scientists from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, are trying to solve an ...

WALLOPS ISLANDS, Va. - A Black Brant IX-sounding rocket is set to launch Wednesday from Wallops Island. The sounding rocket is carrying the Dynamo-2 experiment. The Dynamo-2 mission is launching two ...

Sunspots change in number depending on how much magnetic activity the solar dynamo generates. But there's not total chaos: These changes occur in a cycle, which lasts about 11 years on average. The ...

changes in the topology of the field by breaking and reconnecting the magnetic field lines. This process occurs in (magnetohydrodynamic) "sawtooth" oscillations in tokamak plasmas, in sun spots, and ...
