Scientists replicate the physics of a stellar jet in laboratory

Astronomers will tell you that among the most beautiful structures observed in the Universe are the intricate jets of matter speeding away from accreting stars, such as young proto-stars and stellar mass black holes. But they have a hard time explaining it. A pair of professors the University of Rochester...

BiotSavart 4.0.17 (Windows)

BiotSavart calculates the magnetic field resulting from general 3-D configurations of current-carrying conductors. It has proven useful in the design of superconducting and copper coil systems. Conductor types include current loop, thin and thick solenoid, racetrack coil, and filamentary wire of arbitrary path. The magnetic field can be calculated along...

Ghostly ring found circling dead star

An international team of scientists has found a strange ring around a dead star by using images taken by NASA's Spitzer space telescope. This star, called SGR 1900+14, belongs to a class of objects known as magnetars. According to NASA, a magnetar is 'a highly magnetized neutron star and the...

StdMap 4.5 (Mac)

Area-preserving mappings model the dynamics of such systems as forced pendulums and the dynamics of stars in galacties and the flow of magnetic field lines. StdMap displays the orbits of 13 different such mappings which exhibit chaotic and regular dynamics. With the program you can find periodic orbits, stable manifolds...

MagCAD 2.2.3 (Windows)

MagCAD is a simple low-cost software tool for computation of spatial distribution of the magnetic field created by permanent magnets and electric coils at presence of nonlinear ferromagnetic materials in cylindrically symmetrical systems. The magnetic field is calculated by numerical solution of the equation for vector potential on a uniform...

A roundtrip to Mars in one day?

According to ideas developed in the 1950s, it should be possible to build an 'hyperspace' engine allowing a spacecraft to reach Mars in 3 hours. It would also allow us to travel to stars more that 10 light years away in 80 days by slipping into a different dimension. But...
