A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

This means that their magnetism is there all the time and cannot be turned on or off as it can with an electromagnet. Converting a magnet to a non-magnet is called demagnetisation. Magnets are ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

They are usually detected in areas of space where Earth’s magnetic field resembles that of a giant bar magnet (a dipole), out to around 51,000 km above Earth’s surface, beyond geostationary ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...
