The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over why magnetic reconnection seems to occur at nearly the same speed in vastly different regions of space.

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...
