Hidden magnetic field lines stretch millions of light years across the universe. Credit: Quanta Magazine.When we look into space, all of the astrophysical objects seen are enclosed in magnetic fields. This holds not only in the neighborhood of stars and planets but likewise in the deep space between galaxies and galactic clusters.These fields are...
A study led by the Murdoch Children Research Institute (MCRI) found that multiple infections in infancy could put adults at a higher risk of heart disease, obesity, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.A possible relation between infant infections and the chance of heart disease has been discoveredNewborns have weakened body immune systems. Therefore, they are...
In a new experiment, scientists created two time crystals inside the superfluid, and brought them to touch. Credit: SciTechdaily.Time crystals were long considered impractical because their continuous movement would seem to challenge the laws of physics. Utilizing quantum physics, scientists have developed time crystals and now proved that they can power helpful tools in...

Mathematicians would like to know if equations concerning fluid circulation can break down or "explode" in certain circumstances. Credit: Quanta Magazine.For more than 250 years, mathematicians have been attempting to "blow up" a few of one of the most important formulas in physics. Those explain exactly how liquids circulate. If they are successful, they...
