Earth’s magnetic North Pole is shifting from Canada to Siberia due to changes in the flow of molten iron and nickel in the outer core. This movement has accelerated in recent years, impacting ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

A recent study showed that during the Laschamps excursion, a recent period of low magnetic field intensity which occurred only 41,000 years ago, the global cosmic ray flux reaching the Earth's ...

Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency, ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Deep inside the Earth, liquid iron is flowing and generating the Earth’s magnetic field. Menu. Science. ... This “reverse flux patch” itself has grown over the last 250 years.

Companies that have been developing rare earth magnet free electric motors are taking center stage as the automotive sector panics over critical component supply.

The CME caused Earth’s bow shock—the shockwave that typically forms when a CME hits Earth’s magnetic field—to disappear for two hours, from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. ET.
