Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

Dramatic theories have been proposed to explain the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants of our solar ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Barnard's Star is a small, dim star of the type that astronomers call red dwarfs. Consequently, even though it is one of the ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...
