This collection of gauss weapons use rare earth magnets to accelerate projectiles to damaging speeds. They work using the same concepts as a coil gun, but instead of just one projectile travelling ...

It was recently conjectured by Shabad and Usov that there exists in QED a maximum magnetic field of 10^42 Gauss, above which the magnetized vacuum becomes unstable. Using a nonperturbative analysis ...

Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects we know about, with magnetic fields so strong that chemistry becomes impossible in their vicinity. They’re neutron stars with a superfluid interior that ...

Shenar’s astronomy research team used an instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to look for the chemical fingerprints that magnetic fields can leave on a star’s spectrum and found HD45166 ...
