Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those fields formed so fast. Observations from the Atacama Large ...

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites monitoring our world. It's called the South Atlantic Anomaly, stretching across ...

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 ...

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 ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

The technology to predict when an earthquake will strike does not yet exist. Researchers have tried for decades to determine whether there is a reliable precursor that can act as an early warning ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...
