A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

The Earth’s magnetic field has flipped 183 times over 83 million years, and a weakening field raises the risk of solar ...

As per the clip, the magnetic tune is otherworldly and creepy, like the title soundtrack to a deep space horror thriller or ...

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 ...

Earth's invisible magnetic field acts as a vital shield, protecting life from dangerous cosmic radiation and solar particles.

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of the planets magnetic field. Data from the European Space Agency's Swarm ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

The Northern Lights may be visible in U.S. states after space weather experts at NOAA forecast a geomagnetic storm.
