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 ...

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

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 shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing ...

A powerful solar storm in May 2024 led to the formation of two radiation belts, altering Earth's space environment.

Our phones have already adjusted to the latest shift in the Earth's magnetic pole position, which appears to be constantly ...

Our phones have already adapted to the latest change in the Earth's magnetic pole position, as it continuously shifts towards ...

With the right preparations and technological solutions in place, aviation would continue to operate safely, even during a ...

NASA has announced that a large asteroid, estimated to be larger than a football field, is travelling towards Earth at high speed. Calculations indicate a higher-than-average chance of the asteroid ...

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous. They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced by the electrical activity of the human brain. However, accurately measuring the direction of these ...

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...
