Discover how Earth's ambipolar electric field shields us from cosmic threats, influences atmospheric evolution, and could ...

"This discovery poses a challenge to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, which may struggle to account for the formation of such small, aligned groups of galaxies in isolated environments." ...

The discovery is notable due to the rarity of such closely grouped dwarf galaxies, as fewer than 5 percent of them are found with nearby companions. Three galaxies in the group exhibit synchronised ...

Discover the fascinating story of Söderfjärden, a meteorite crater in Finland that has witnessed dramatic transformations ...

Their scenario starts in the cosmic dawn ... to include this mechanism in simulations of the evolution of galaxies and their magnetic fields. That is a crucial step in comparing the full magnetic ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange ...

Life on Earth could not exist without carbon. But carbon itself could not exist without stars. Nearly all elements except ...

The source of the cosmic rays' energy, the researchers found, is more likely magnetic turbulence. The paper's authors found that magnetic fields in these environments tangle and turn, rapidly ...

However, modern techniques and more advanced instruments make it possible to study them thanks to the improved field ... cosmic explosions with these characteristics in terms of brightness and ...
