Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are central in the landscape of extreme phenomena such as hypernovae, fast ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

which keeps the liquid metal moving through the magnetic field. The so-called Coriolis force also plays a role in sustaining the geomagnetic dynamo. Our planet's spinning motion causes the moving ...

An international research team, including the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has for the first time used numerical simulations ...

A – The coil is at 0°. The coil is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field, so no potential difference is induced. B – The coil is at 90°. The coil is moving at 90° to the ...

increasing the rate of rotation increasing the strength of the magnetic field increasing the number of turns on the coil The diagram shows four different positions of the coil in a dynamo ...
