Roughly 42,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened dramatically during the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the atmosphere. In a peer‑reviewed study of ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

Aditya-L1's observations reveal unusual dawn-time geomagnetic disturbances during strong solar storms, enhancing our ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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

Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen appear to have moved in sync for half a billion years, pointing to a surprising connection between the planet’s deep interior and life-supporting ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

The Sun’s magnetic poles are in the middle of an uneven, drawn-out reversal as Solar Cycle 25 moves through its solar maximum phase. NASA and NOAA jointly announced that the current cycle has entered ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...
