By combining astrophysical simulations with laboratory experiments, a study has demonstrated that intense stellar magnetic fields can completely inhibit the propagation of coronal mass ejections,…
Using light as a probe, researchers have recently demonstrated that micrometre-scale optomechanical discs can, at very low temperatures, enter a quantum regime characterised by a complete absence of…
How can a single layer of cells evolve into an organized mass? And can we predict where this transition will take place? A single defect in the collective alignment of cells is enough to…
A phase transition is characterized by an order parameter whose fluctuations cease to obey Gaussian statistics within a narrow window around the transition. By reconstructing the full distribution of…
