The results, now published in Communications Materials, pinpoint the spiral magnetic structure of these materials, finally establishing the common origin of its promising magnetic and electric ...

This influence results in a spiral disk structure with two spiral arms, resembling a galaxy, due to the Kozai-Lidov effect. The gravitational pull of planets and nearby stars has minimal impact on ...

This solitude helps them preserve their spiral structure. “The distribution of galaxies in the Supergalactic Plane is indeed remarkable,” Carlos Frenk, ...

At an epic timescale "comparable to the age of the solar system," which is 4.6 billion years old, the researchers believe that the spiral arms formed when "small bodies" were pushed out of the ...

The spiral structure, visible here behind the sun in a scene from the show, surprised scientists and animators when they saw it projected on the planetarium's dome during preproduction.

We've come to really identify our galaxy with its spiral structure (although its exact number of galactic arms is still being debated).Yet, astronomers have long puzzled over why spiral galaxies ...
