The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

A magnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's Law of Induction to measure the flow of a fluid. Magnets outside the pipe create a ...

Long before life thrived in Earth’s oceans, the planet’s magnetic field became disorganized. Deep within the ancient rocks of ...

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

Moroccan rocks suggest that what had been thought to be wild, random movements of continents was actually Earth's magnetic ...

At the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in New Mexico a pulsed magnet has achieved fields of around 100 tesla, making it the world-record holder for non-destructive magnetic field strength. The ...

The finding, based on data from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, marks the first direct evidence of tiny twisting magnetic motions of energy-packed plasma waves in the sun's outer ...

A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

Scientists have discovered that a 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing at an alarming rate. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), the region has expanded by an area nearly twice the ...
