New Image Exposes Intense Magnetic Field of the Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole

A new image of our galaxy’s central black hole reveals the magnetic field surrounding the object in polarized light. The image reveals how gas and superheated matter in the immediate vicinity of the black hole move around it. But aside from that, it’s a great way to visualize the extreme physics happening at the center … Read more

Snag Anker’s Magnetic Charging Station for Just $90

Plugging a phone in to charge all the time can get exhausting very quickly, and if you aren’t careful, you could potentially damage your port over time. That’s especially true as dust and dirt are constantly pressed deeper into the port, culminating in a situation where the USB or Lightning port doesn’t work anymore. Luckily, … Read more

While it seems so simple and straightforward, it’s saved my USB-C ports from damage countless times, and it’s helped prevent laptops from being yanked to the floor by careless individuals (usually me) tripping over … Read more

Magnetic Minerals May Have Given Life Its Molecular Asymmetry

Naaman and his team discovered that chiral molecules filter electrons based on the direction of their spin. Electrons with one spin orientation will move more efficiently across a chiral molecule in one direction than the other. Electrons with the opposite spin move more freely the other way. To understand why, imagine throwing a Frisbee that … Read more
