Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

A research team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

Probing the depths beneath our feet is a daunting task. Scientists rely on indirect clues to understand the phenomena at work nearly 1,864 miles (3000 km) deep. It is precisely at this ...

Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient sediments hint that Earth’s magnetic field sometimes changed far more slowly than expected.

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

Polarized light observations from ALMA reveal the magnetic structures and galactic outflows in Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, providing detailed field maps.

Earth’s magnetic field can linger in a weakened, unstable state for tens of thousands of years before fully flipping.

Geologists have mapped a strange magnetic anomaly in Australia – and in a stunning coincidence, it happens to look remarkably like the continent it lurks beneath. The anomaly seems to feature its own ...

New radio observations of the Milky Way are exposing hidden patterns in its magnetic field. People have scanned the night sky ...

Earth’s magnetic field is often described as a steady shield, but the geological record tells a more restless story. Polarity flips, when magnetic north and south swap places, happen several times per ...
