Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New satellite data and advanced simulations show that the morning side of the ...

This is a computer simulation of gas (in yellow) falling into a black hole (too small to be seen). Twin jets are also shown with magnetic field lines. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

In a world first, plasma “fireballs” have been created in the lab setting using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva. The Oxford-led international science team experimented to ...

Astronomers have detected the strongest magnetic field ever observed in the universe. Studying powerful X-ray signals coming from a neutron star, the team calculated that its magnetic field is tens of ...

“It’s a love story, baby just say ‘yes’ ” to celebrating the MagLab’s “Science Eras” at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory’s 2025 Open House on Saturday. The Open House will showcase the eras ...

How do sharks make transatlantic journeys without losing their way? New research published this week in Current Biology demonstrates that like salmon, birds, sea turtles, and lobsters, sharks can ...

In a recent study published in Nature Astronomy, a team of researchers examined an Earth-sized exoplanet located only 12 light-years away, YZ Ceti b, which could possess a magnetic field much like the ...
