Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

Helioseismic data traces the solar dynamo to the tachocline about 200,000 km down.

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...

Researchers designed a new superconducting material that works at higher temperatures and withstands strong magnetic fields.

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved ...

For nearly half a century, astronomers have believed that stars like our sun eventually ...
