Two rotating spheres separated by thousands of kilograms of liquid sodium aim to mimic Earth's interior. You have full access to this article via your institution. The 3-metre-tall ribbed sphere looks ...

Daniel Lathrop spent seven years and $2 million building the stainless steel sphere in his laboratory. It’s two spheres, actually — nestled one within the other like a pair of Russian dolls. Only ...

Certain topological materials could be used in lab tests of the dynamo effect The astrophysical dynamo effect could be tested in the laboratory using electronic materials such as hydrodynamic Weyl ...

The universe is filled with magnetic fields. Understanding how magnetic fields are generated and amplified in plasmas is essential to studying how large structures in the universe were formed and how ...

WALLOPS ISLANDS, Va. - A Black Brant IX-sounding rocket is set to launch Wednesday from Wallops Island. The sounding rocket is carrying the Dynamo-2 experiment. The Dynamo-2 mission is launching two ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 23, 2017 -- The massive, churning core of conducting liquids in stars and some planets creates a dynamo that generates the planetary body's magnetic field. Researchers aim to ...

A new simulation based on the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment takes a closer look at how the liquid vortex created by the device generates a magnetic field. Researchers investigated the ...

Two suborbital rockets were successfully launched 15 seconds apart on July 4, 2013 from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility. NASA's Fourth of July rocket launches were part of the Daytime Dynamo mission, ...

Flows of molten metal can generate magnetic fields. This so-called dynamo effect creates cosmic magnetic fields, like those found on planets, moons and even asteroids. Over the coming years, a ...
