Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world ...

Roughly 42,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened dramatically during the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the atmosphere. In a peer‑reviewed study of ...

A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field. A team of geologists has found for the first time evidence ...

India's Aditya-L1 mission has uncovered why Earth's magnetic field behaved strangely during recent solar storms. A new study explains how polar electric currents reached the equator.

Earth’s magnetic field is often described as a steady shield, but the geological record tells a more restless story. Polarity ...

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

In a new study, researchers from the ARIES and their collaborators used computational models that simulate the behaviour of ...

From DIY levitation tricks to clever braking systems, these swirling paths of electrons keep finding new ways to surprise and inspire.

Learn about the continent-sized rocks hidden deep within Earth's mantle that have influenced the magnetic field for millions of years. The depths of Earth pose numerous questions about the planet’s ...
