In December 2024, astronomers watched a star around 25 times the mass of our sun die in a blaze of glory. Located one billion light-years from Earth, SN 2024afav was a prime example of a superluminous ...

Researchers say the "powerful engine" behind superluminous exploding stars had been hidden for years — until a "chirp" from the cosmos helped confirm their link.

NASA scientists believe they’ve identified a kind of 'space battery' inside Earth’s magnetic shield, the same system that protects our planet from the Sun’s charged particles. So you might well have ...

A brand called Aulumu has a new 10,000mAh magnetic power bank that manages to make boring batteries look cool. The $89.98 M10 pairs a sleek design with a 15W Qi charger, a detachable lanyard that ...

Apple launched MagSafe with the iPhone 12 in 2020, and Google added magnets to the Pixel 10 last year. Samsung, however, ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of your hand, making it more practical and affordable ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

A new study explains how some supernovas are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an ...

The Japanese-German project aims to control invisible antiferromagnets with light and make advanced computers 1,000 times faster.
