A team of astronomers has created the first-ever map of magnetic field structures within a spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. Previous studies on galactic magnetic fields only gave a very general ...

"The cells we describe are ideally equipped to detect magnetic fields using electromagnetic induction—enabling pigeons to find their way home using the same physical principle which permits the ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...
