For decades, scientists assumed that Earth’s magnetosphere had the same charge polarity from pole to equator. That assumption ...

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties. Researchers in ...

That's not to say current observatories can't do some preliminary work with strong magnetic fields, but given that HWO won't be launching for at least another 15 years, it might be a while before we ...

Earth's magnetic field plays a vital role in everything from animal migration to protecting the Earth from the Sun's harsh solar wind. Now, a recent study finally sheds light on how some birds ...

If you're confused about the sun's impending magnetic field flip, don't feel bad — scientists don't fully understand it, either. The sun's magnetic field will reverse its polarity three or four months ...
