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

Deep in the heart of our galaxy lies one of the most chaotic and mysterious regions in space. Now, scientists have created ...

A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have puzzled over whether the Earth’s magnetic field had already been generated stably ...

This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist and Space.com ...

But there are also meteorites — small space rocks that have fallen to Earth — that contain hints of magnetism. Scientists say some iron meteorites bear the remnants of an internally-generated magnetic ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Earth's magnetic field may not be heading toward a dramatic flip anytime soon, according to scientists who analyzed anomalies in the planet's invisible shield against solar wind and other radiation.

However, Earth’s magnetic field almost collapsed 591 million years ago, and this change, paradoxically, may have played a pivotal role in the blossoming of complex life, new research has found.

The planet's magnetic field may have collapsed around 600 million years ago, enabling a major oxygenation event and perhaps supercharging evolution. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Known as the Hale cycle, this magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar ...
