All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks ...

Over 40,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a full reversal, a rare phenomenon in which the North and South ...

Auroras may be visible from Alaska to Maine tonight as Earth reels from a colossal CME impact.

Two or more satellites could communicate and manoeuvre around one another using magnetic fields, although getting the technique to work at scale in space might be tricky ...

The magnetic fields are more than a thousand times stronger than the magnetic field used in MRI machines.

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...
