ESA’s Swarm satellite mission has discovered a mysterious magnetic wave that "oscillates every seven years and propagates westward at up to 1500 kilometers (932 mi.) a year." Credit: ESA ...

That’s quite a big gap, as it turns out. It covers fields from gigantic bodies like the Sun and Earth, as well as those ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C.– We now know that Earth’s magnetic field is triggering a superpower in sea turtles. Loggerhead sea turtles have the ability to find nesting and feeding areas without landmarks. A new ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it.

One of Earth’s deepest mysteries lies beneath our feet: the planet’s inner core.Made of iron and nickel, the hot, ...

The electrokinetic current would be responsible of an induced magnetic field according to the Biot-Savart law. More recently, Sorokin and Hayakawa (2014) proposed that preseismic processes would ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

The hot, glowing gases normally contained within the magnetic fields are missing and flowing out into space. That gaseous material is on its way to Earth, blowing out at speeds of more than 310 ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements.

The first-ever series based on the Alien universe is hitting this summer, in the form of Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth on FX and Hulu. The latest teaser gives us some big hints at the horrors to come.

“The way the model is built, our forecast is mostly an extrapolation given our current knowledge of the Earth’s magnetic field.” The 2025 update introduced two versions of the WMM: a standard model, ...
