The new research sheds light on the processes that are responsible for setting the properties of stars, which in turn affects the formation of planets. Stella Offner’s research will shed light on the ...

With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material.

Stars form when gravity pulls together material within giant clouds of gas and dust. But gravity isn't the only force at work. Both turbulence and magnetic fields battle gravity, either by stirring ...

Figure 1: The B-field directions of NGC 6334 and the local intercloud medium. It is obvious that the field lines at the 10-pc scale are ‘pinched’ near the ends of the dust filament, where the ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A process developed at Ohio State University for shaping metal parts using magnetism has reached a new milestone -- one that may cut manufacturing costs and help preserve the ...

Solar physicists from University College London (UCL) created a series of complex supercomputer simulations to map the hot winds coming from the Sun. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ...
