How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

Although we cannot see magnetic field lines, we can detect them using iron filings. The tiny pieces of iron line up in a magnetic field.

The iron filings in the image become induced magnets when they are near the bar magnet. They lose most or all of their magnetism when they are removed from the magnetic field.

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

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. The movement of the molten, electrically ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
