An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

The energy resolution limit (ERL) is a mix of parameters representing the economics of a quantum system within a sensor's ...

There are a million and one reasons that make Earth habitable for humans and every other creature around us. But central to that is one major thing: the planet's magnetic field. A protective ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

Watchmakers have devised two different ways to battle magnetism. One is to protect the entire movement with an inner cage made out of a very magnetically permeable material, usually soft iron, that ...

In a twist that sounds like it belongs in a science fiction novel, researchers have recently uncovered exotic quasi-particles ...

while a magnetic field is not. The presence of an electric field may cause a shock when touching a metal object, such as a fence or car, near a transmission line. The shock is caused by the body of ...

Something strange is happening in Earth’s magnetic field, and it has caught NASA’s attention. A massive region of lower magnetic intensity, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), has appeared ...

It is aligned with lines of longitude, which converge at this point. In contrast, magnetic north is the shifting location where Earth’s magnetic field lines point vertically downward, a result of the ...
