It’s probably a good thing that the human eye can see only a small slice of the energy spectrum. If we could see microwaves, radio waves and magnetic fields, we’d be blinded by modern life.

Imagine a world where the weather forecast isn’t just a guess, but a button you can press. Picture farmers summoning rain for ...

The Moon lacked a magnetic field for nearly all its history – but now, new research has resolved a mystery sparked by rocks brought back on Apollo.

The magnetic field of the Earth varies by location, but is estimated to be about 50 microtesla, or 500 times weaker than the magnetic fields used in the experiments.

The field measured out to 1,200 teslas, a unit of magnetic measurement. While Russian scientists were able to create a magnetic field of an astonishing 2,800 teslas, their equipment blew up with ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

The magnet in the study was 1 tesla strong, or 20,000 times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field, which is about 50 microteslas strong. An MRI, at 1 to 3 teslas strong, however, could ...

But did the Moon’s core generate a magnetic field in the past? In the 1980s, geophysicists studying rocks brought back by Apollo astronauts concluded the Moon once had a magnetic field that was as ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).

Without a magnetic field, the Moon’s surface is exposed to solar wind. These could have been depositing resources like water and potential rocket fuel on the Moon’s surface for billions of years.
