It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At most, Earth's magnetic field may have remained at 25 percent of its current ...

Every few hundred thousand years, Earth’s magnetic poles flip, turning north into south and south into north. These ...

As of now, the Earth’s magnetic poles have not flipped, but they are slowly drifting. The process of the magnetic poles "flipping," also known as geomagnetic reversal, happens over thousands of years, ...

At least three explanations are under consideration, each of which could have dramatically reshaped planetary conditions for ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have ...

The 33’s signature turn swerves across up to six lanes of traffic and, on rare occasions, leaves the 40-foot-long bus stranded in the middle of an intersection, poles detached. (The bus’s ...

"Flip smartphones are popular for their blend of style, functionality, and nostalgia. Their compact, foldable design saves space, making them convenient for pocket storage. When opened, they offer ...

Shape changes in the core could hold clues about the forces deep inside Earth that power our magnetosphere, the invisible lines of magnetic energy that protect our planet from solar weather and ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core.
