Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

The Sun's magnetic field does impact the movement of plasma on the Sun's surface, but it does not actually impact the amount ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

ABSTRACT: The occurrence and development of earthquakes can cause abnormal changes in the lithospheric magnetic field. High-precision geomagnetic observations on both sides of the Dingri M6.8 ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?
