Magnetic fields are not a phenomenon confined to our Solar System. A recent study shows that distant exoplanets carry clear signatures of magnetism – something that had not previously been known. The findings open up new ways to study alien worlds and identify potentially habitable planets. The Universe is full of strange planets. Among the most puzzling are the so-called “ultra-hot Jupiters” – en

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher
