The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Solar flares strong enough to knock out satellites and buckle power grids are, by definition, rare. That rarity is exactly the problem for the machine-learning models tasked with predicting them: they ...
