Small-scale magnetism leads to large-scale solar atmosphere
Thanks to close-up images of the sun obtained during Solar Orbiter's perihelion passage of October 2022, solar physicists have seen how fleeting magnetic fields at the solar surface build up into the solar atmosphere......»»
Feather-tailed possums in New Guinea were originally Aussies, according to fossil study
Analysis of Riversleigh fossils has revealed fascinating new facts about a tiny possum's ancestors. Scientists have long known that the miniature feather-tailed possums in Australia and the island of New Guinea—members of the marsupial family Acrob.....»»
A precise test of quantum electrodynamics: Measuring the g factor of electrons in hydrogen-like tin
Quantum electrodynamics is the best-tested theory in physics. It describes all electrical and magnetic interactions of light and matter. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg (MPIK) have now used precision measurements o.....»»
Next-generation Apple Pencil might have interchangeable magnetic tips
It’s been five years since Apple introduced Apple Pencil 2 for the iPad, which brought a new design that’s more comfortable to hold and recharges magnetically. Rumors about a new Apple Pencil are pretty vague at this point, but the X user known a.....»»
Physicists realize fractionalization without a magnetic field

Keck Cosmic Web Imager offers best glimpse yet of the filamentous network that connects galaxies
Like rivers feeding oceans, streams of gas nourish galaxies throughout the cosmos. But these streams, which make up a part of the so-called cosmic web, are very faint and hard to see. While astronomers have known about the cosmic web for decades, and.....»»
Quantum repeaters use defects in diamond to interconnect quantum systems
The popular children's game of telephone is based on a simple premise: The starting player whispers a message into the ear of the next player. That second player then passes along the message to the third person and so on until the message reaches th.....»»
Einstein right again: Antimatter falls “down” due to gravity like ordinary matter
CERN's ALPHA experiment confirms matter and antimatter react to gravity in a similar way. Enlarge / An artist's conceptual rendering of antihydrogen atoms falling out the bottom of the magnetic trap of the ALPHA-g apparatus. (cre.....»»
