The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years. This has sparked many questions and concerns about the implications of such ...

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 ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

An article published in the journal Communications Medicine points to a correlation between disturbances in Earth's magnetic field resulting from solar storms and an increase in the frequency of heart ...

Some 40 kilometers east of the Tanzanian coast in East Africa lies Latham Island, a rocky, utterly isolated and uninhabited ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A striking S-shape structure, up to 10 times wider than Earth, emerged on the sun's surface ...

The cannibal solar storm didn't hit its full potential, but still put on a good show. A cannibal solar storm slammed into Earth's magnetic field around 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Sept. 1, sparking a ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over why lunar rocks show signs of strong magnetism when the moon itself has no global magnetic field today. New simulations suggest the answer may lie in a ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

Researchers built a fingernail-sized magnetometer using metasurfaces that measures fields billions of times weaker than Earth's, opening new paths for quantum sensing. At the heart of the sensor is an ...
