As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

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

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...

The sun has woken up grumpy this week, developing unusually unstable magnetic fields at some sunspots that may result in rare and violent X-class solar flares being fired at the Earth. X-class flares ...

Eight and a half years into its grand tour of the solar system, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft was ready for another encounter. It was Jan. 24, 1986, and soon it would meet the mysterious seventh planet, ...

The technology to predict when an earthquake will strike does not yet exist. Researchers have tried for decades to determine whether there is a reliable precursor that can act as an early warning ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...

"Turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in classical mechanics." In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium ...
