How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure 'fingerprint' of the magnetic field. This will help improve our understanding of planet formation. For the first time ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

New research has shown that a pigment called Egyptian blue, formulated some 5,250 years ago, can be used as dusting powder to detect fingerprints on complicated surfaces. The earliest known ...

ALMA observations of the protoplanetary disk around HD 142527. The white bars show the directions of the magnetic field revealed by the orientation of the dust grains. The strength of the magnetic ...
