Geologists discovered ancient rocks in Greenland that preserve the oldest known traces of Earth’s early magnetic field.

The Magnetic Shield That Protects Our Climate Earth is surrounded by an immense magnetic field, called the magnetosphere.

What if Earth had Jupiter’s magnetic field strength? Explore how stronger magnetic protection would affect life, technology, ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...

The images, captured with the Event Horizon Telescope, show the magnetic field of the supermassive black hole M87* completely reversing. EHT Collaboration Observations of a supermassive black hole ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the Universe, may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

The solar wind flows around Earth’s magnetic field. A new NASA study suggests that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and strength of the magnetic field have been correlated for more than half a ...

The compact integrated quantum magnetometer of Fraunhofer IAF is based on nitrogen vacancies (NV) in diamond and offers new applications in biomedicine, materials testing, navigation, and geology.
