Scientists report that a new class of magnetism, altermagnetism, can increase memory device operation speeds by up to a ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

Under the nighttime California sky, NASA's EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon ...

Have you ever played with a magnet and stuck it in a sandy wash? It will pick up lots of black stuff. Some call it black sand; some might think ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an ...

World's Oldest Impact Crater Found, Rewriting Earth's Ancient History Mar. 6, 2025 — Researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly ...

NASA’s upcoming EZIE mission will use three small satellites to study electrojets — powerful electrical currents in the upper atmosphere linked to auroras. These mysterious currents influence ...

WHEN the mean horizontal force of the earth's magnetism for each day of the year has been deduced from well-corrected observations of the bifilar magnetometer, and the results have been projected ...

The moving metals in Earth's core create the planet's magnetic field. Our planet sits in a small corner of the Milky Way galaxy, 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's center. Our solar system lives ...

Nucleation and growth of Earth’s solid inner core has a crucial role powering the geomagnetic field. This Review explores the timing and mechanisms of inner core growth consistent with physical ...
