Almost since they were first discovered in the early 2000s, scientists have theorized that the birth of magnetars, which have the most powerful magnetic fields in the known universe, are connected to ...
A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and ...
What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...
An unnerving video on YouTube has claimed there are five areas of the globe that you wouldn't want to be if WW3 broke out.

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of years. Using ancient magnetic records and advanced simulations, scientists ...
Zeb Rocklin does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...
Astronomers think they’ve found a celestial unicorn: a potentially habitable near twin of Earth with the same size and perhaps even year-length as our own familiar planet, circling a star much like ...
