There are places in the Universe where matter becomes so wildly distorted that magnetism grows into an unimaginable force. Known as magnetars, the gravitationally compacted cores of these highly dynamic neutron stars concentrate magnetic fields to a
An analysis of particle interactions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has found traces of record-breaking magnetic fields imprinted on the spray of material shed by crashing together nuclei of various heavy ions.Artist's impression of collisions of heavy ions generating an immensely strong electromagnetic field.
One situation in which physicists thought a handy magnetic field might be generated was a collision between heavy nuclei not perfectly on-center. By throwing gold nuclei at one another at various energies, along with mutual collisions of ruthenium and zirconium, the researchers were able to sift through the remnants and identify paths taken by particles that signified the magnetic field's presence.
