Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Something strange is happening to Earth’s magnetic field and it could spell doom for satellites, scientists warn - Strange ...

Aurorae such as the southern lights, seen here over Antarctica, show the geomagnetic field in action. Some areas of the field, which shields Earth’s surface from charged solar particles, are stronger ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Key learning points Properties of magnets What are magnetic fields? Magnetic fields lines are invisible but they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work on magnetic materials, ...
