We鈥檙e on the verge of seeing the quantum foundations of the universe

Quantum theory says a vacuum isn鈥檛 truly empty, but proving it directly has remained out of reach. A new experiment using immensely powerful lasers could finally expose its hidden structure 鈥� and perhaps offer clues to dark matter

This illustration lays a depiction of the sun's magnetic fields over an image captured by NASA?s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the ways the sun's magnetism changes in response to the constant movement on and inside the sun.

Source of the sun鈥檚 magnetic field may hide right under its surface

精东传媒s have long thought the source of the sun's magnetic field sat deep within the star, but it may exist in a far more convenient spot for us to observe it
