For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Magnetic field reversal is a fascinating topic. You are brought up to think that the compass, pointing to the north, is an ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

A team of astronomers led by Dr. Anna Ordog at the University of Calgary has identified a magnetic-field reversal slicing ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

New simulations suggest that the origins of the sun's explosive storms could lie much closer to its surface than first thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

New results from China’s Chang’e 5 mission suggest that the Moon possessed a magnetic field well into its midlife, much longer than previously documented. In work published Jan. 1 in Science Advances, ...

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 ...
