The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

In this captivating experiment, explore the fascinating world of electric motors and their magnetic rotors in motion. Discover the principles that power these remarkable devices as we dive into the ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a unifo… ...

Illustration of the global coronal magnetic field as the sun rotates. The background is the solar corona observed in extreme-ultraviolet waveband, with global coronal magnetic field maps measured ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds.

Here’s how it works. The sun's magnetic field is about to flip (Image credit: Created in Canva by Daisy Dobrijevic.) The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal.

Instead of only measuring the strength of magnetic fields, the improved version can also determine their direction, which was previously not possible with purely optical magnetometers.

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind magnetized rocks that still carry its signature.
