Magnetic levitation, whether in a science demo or a high-speed train, relies on the same core idea: using magnetic fields to fight gravity. Magnets can repel or attract without contact, and with the right setup, they can suspend objects in mid-air. The real challenge is stability. Maglev trains solve this using electromagnets and sensors that constantly adjust the magnetic force, allowing the train to float smoothly just above the track. This system removes friction and enables speeds over 600 k

How do the universe’s most magnetic objects produce some of the most energetic outbursts we’ve seen? New observations by our IXPE telescope of a magnetar called 1E 1841-045 gave us some clues! Magnetars are a type of neutron star, the crushed remains of a massive star. These supermagnetized stellar cores sport the strongest magnetic fields known — up to 10 trillion times stronger than a refrigerator magnet. They can produce powerful X-ray outbursts. Astronomers caught an eruption from 1E 1841-04
