Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...
Iron particles effectively act as tiny magnets that can record both magnetic field strength and direction when the process of crystallization locks them in place. The researchers found that rocks ...
Magnetite is a highly magnetic and dense mineral, allowing it to be effectively separated from other tailings material in the processing plant using a combination of water and magnetism to form a ...
