How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery" operating ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Kinetic energy has to do with the motion of an object—the faster it’s moving, the more kinetic energy it has. If you take a ...
