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 ...

The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion efficiency of electric motors. In electric motors, iron loss or magnetic ...

Today's computers store information using only two values: 0 and 1. But as electronic devices become smaller and reach their ...

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.

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 ...

Electrons from Earth’s magnetic field may help to form water on the lunar surface during a full moon – although whether astronauts could harvest enough to drink it is unclear. Water is made from ...

The ring produced by MC 27. An artist’s rendering of the molecular cloud core MC 27 based on observations from the ALMA telescope. The protostar and the disk surrounding it are shown in the lower ...
