Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects life from harmful cosmic radiation. But sometime between about 590 million and 565 million years ago, that security blanket seems to have been much thinner — with ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

A lab in China has produced the most powerful steady magnetic field in the world. The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, recorded a field strength of 45.22 Tesla (T) on ...

New research from Cambridge and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin has decoded the mystery of magnetic fossils left by an ancient ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...

Permanent magnets play a crucial role in medicine due to its field strength, tunability of field and gradient distributions, as well as practical implementation. In a new study published in KeAi ...

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...
