For decades, astronomers have looked to the outer reaches of the cosmos for answers to our most fundamental questions: Where did we come from? What lies beyond? And how does it all work? A recent ...

A team of researchers at Nagoya University has used Japan’s most powerful supercomputer to show that Sun-like stars likely keep the same internal spin pattern for their entire lives, a finding that ...

Deep within certain magnetic molecules, atoms arrange their spins in a spiral pattern, forming structures called chiral helimagnets. These helical spin patterns have intrigued researchers for years ...

This image shows an all-sky mollweide map of the quadrupole in the distribution of galaxy spin directions. In this image, the different colors mean different statistical strength of having a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A material used to store information must satisfy a demanding bargain. It has to keep its state when the power is off, resist noise from its surroundings, and still change when a ...

MANHATTAN, KANSAS -- An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links might suggest that the ...
