On Sunday, they announced the successful generation of a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss using a fully superconducting ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

Life on Earth may exist thanks to a brief faltering in our planet's protective magnetic field shell, scientists have found. A bizarre drop in the strength of the magnetic field has been found to have ...

An ancient, well-preserved tree that was alive the last time the Earth's magnetic poles flipped has helped scientists pin down more precise timing of that event, which occurred about 42,000 years ago.

The technology could have promising applications for nuclear fusion research and other commercial uses, the researchers said.
