A research team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators from Anhui University, ShanghaiTech ...

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient sediments hint that Earth’s magnetic field sometimes changed far more slowly than expected.

Probing the depths beneath our feet is a daunting task. Scientists rely on indirect clues to understand the phenomena at work nearly 1,864 miles (3000 km) deep. It is precisely at this ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have been asked to conduct a study on high-magnetic-field science and technology. The primary goal of the Committee on the Current Status ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Earth’s magnetic field is easy to forget. It doesn’t make noise, it doesn’t flash, and it doesn’t ask for attention. Yet it ...
