The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Geophysics Survey Reveals Striking Similarities to World-Class Mountain Pass Rare Earth Deposit; Geochemical Anomalies ...

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis suggested that in the first billion years, when the Moon was covered in molten ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By ...

Earth's magnetic field became weaker during this period, falling to at least 5% of its present strength. This made it possible for more cosmic rays to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, according to ...

LOFAR detects a faint radio 'mini-halo' from 3.8 billion years ago, revealing how galaxy clusters evolved in the early ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds ...

The sun remains active, and a geomagnetic storm alert has been issued for June 24-25, as a recurrent, negative polarity ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

The magnetic field lines start to pinch together and connect to form a tail on Earth — literally called a magnetotail. But the tail’s stretched field lines become unstable and snap.
