Forty-two thousand years ago, Earth’s magnetic field collapsed - the sky turned electric, radiation burned the surface, and humanity was forced underground. Scientists call it the Adams Event, a ...

Designed as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), these programmes aim to strengthen conceptual understanding and ensure wider ...

Russell was one of the people that established the reputation of Princeton Plasma Physics Lab as the place to do plasma ...

At a Thursday lecture event, Benjamin Weiss, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years. A weak region in Earth's magnetic field has ...

Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming tools.

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between gravity and magnetic fields in some of our galaxy's most dynamic star forming ...

In recent years, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has given us a close-up look at the sun. Among the probe's revelations was the presence of numerous kinks, or "switchbacks," in magnetic field lines in the ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...
