We’re showing that, everywhere we look now, there was some sort of magnetic field that was responsible for bringing mass to ...

Tiny grains from a distant asteroid are revealing clues to the magnetic forces that shaped the far reaches of the solar ...

The geomagnetic field, a kind of natural barrier, protects Earth from cosmic radiation, which can create disturbances in the ...

Are the Northern Lights dangerous? Solar storms in May and October saw intense displays of aurora borealis across the U.S.

Iron particles effectively act as tiny magnets that can record both magnetic field strength and direction when the process of crystallization locks them in place. The researchers found that rocks ...

Tiny grains from the asteroid Ryugu have shed light on the origins of the outer solar system over 4.6 billion years ago. MIT ...

Is there something strange and alien confined deep inside the Earth? Is it trying to break free and escape into the heavens?

A supposedly stable belt of radiation 7000 km above the Earth’s surface may in fact be producing damaging bursts of ...

It’s something [mircemk] demonstrates, with an Arduino-powered magnetic field strength meter that uses a UGN 3503U Hall effect device. The circuit is extremely simple, comprising the sensor ...

The NSTX-U is the primary nuclear fusion reactor experiment which is ongoing at the US Department of Energy's PPPL.

during which the intensity of the dipolar component drastically decreases, and the structure of the field is unstable." Our magnetic field provides some protection from the onslaught of particles ...
