The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By ...

Some planets take the expression "you're your own worst enemy" to the extreme — triggering stellar flares from their own ...

Astronomers have spotted an alien planet orbiting so closely to its home star, the planet's magnetic field is triggering ...

The near $16-million reduction would impact "our national security, global positioning, and economic growth," wrote U.S.Rep.

Natural crystals fascinate with their vibrant colors, their nearly flawless appearance and their manifold symmetrical forms.

Two German physicists have unveiled a compact magnet layout that outperforms the famed Halbach array, delivering stronger, ...

According to the ESA, “Our magnetic field is largely generated by an ocean of superheated, swirling liquid iron that makes up the outer core around 1,864 miles beneath our feet.

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.Comparing 540 ...

Such disturbances can come from the sun's magnetic field, for example, particularly during periods of heightened solar activity, such as sunspots and solar flares, but also from other sources.

During this event, Earth’s magnetic field rapidly weakened and the poles flipped, only to reverse again 500 years later. ... So that would be an example of coincidental climate change. ...
