NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

A study by geophysicists from UC Berkeley and their Italian and French colleagues has shed new light on Earth's last ... the links between magnetic reversals and climate change.

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

suggesting that such an event is directly linked to a dramatic change of the strength of Earth’s magnetic field. “This record reveals a substantial increase in the carbon-14 content of the ...

Such reversals in the Earth's magnetic field, they'd tell you, are, roughly speaking, as common as ice ages. That is, they're terrifically infrequent by human standards, but in geologic terms they ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

The Earth is absorbing more sunlight and trapping ... adding to heating from rising greenhouse gas levels and causing climate change to accelerate. The study, published in Environmental Research ...
