A New Recipe for Neutron Star Magnetic Fields
How do neutron stars acquire such strong magnetic fields? Why do these fields differ between pulsars and magnetars? Today’s paper suggests that *convective dynamos* may be at play.

Dust in Time – Supernovae May Not Destroy Dust As Quickly As We Think
The dust destruction efficiency of supernovae may not be a high as we previously thought. Why is this, and what can it tell us about star formation?
