Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

An international group of astronomers led by the University of Sydney has discovered strong magnetic fields are common in stars, not rare as previously thought, which will dramatically impact our ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Just as the amplified magnetic field peaked, these electrons settled again, locking in the strong field’s direction. Benjamin Weiss, an MIT professor and study co-author, explains the process like ...

Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and ...
