Scientists have proposed a spacecraft-based system to actively strengthen Earth's magnetic shield and reduce the impact of ...

Magnetic fields are a fundamental part of the universe. They govern how small particles – the building blocks of planets, ...

The largest magnetic map of the universe ever produced—five times larger than all previous efforts combined—marks the ...

The winds on seven hellish alien worlds are moving in the wrong direction. That strange anomaly just cracked open one of ...

Astronomers have discovered the first evidence of magnetic worlds beyond the solar system, representing a major step forward ...

A team led by astronomer Julia Seidel used wind speed data from seven ultra-hot Jupiters to produce the first direct ...

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 ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000km beneath ...

Astronomers have disovered the first robust indications of magnetism on planets outside the solar system by measuring ...

Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth’s magnetic fields, especially at night or in overcast conditions when visual landmarks or ...

Researchers at Australia's space agency have built the largest map of the universe's magnetic fields yet ...
