The mechanism that can cause a rapidly expanding plasma—the superhot state of matter harnessed in fusion energy systems—to ...

Researchers have identified the mechanism by which high-powered lasers can cause rapidly expanding plasmas to self-generate strong magnetic fields within a billionth of a second. The simulations show ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag patterns known as maze domains. These patterns change in complicated ways as ...

A compass always points north—or does it? Magnets normally maintain a stable direction of magnetization, pointing from south ...
