Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Nematic materials are made of elongated molecules that align in a preferred direction, but, like in a fluid, are spaced out irregularly. The best-known nematic materials are liquid crystals, which are ...

The team will continue to research the magnetic fields, namely capturing the third dimension of the magnetic field. Getting a 3D view is particularly important for understanding how the corona is ...

MAGNETIC DROPLETS Scientists have now created permanent liquid magnets. Here, magnetized liquid droplets (yellow) twirl in oil, under the influence of a rotating magnetic field, wrapping ...

That is far and away the most powerful magnetic field ever detected in the universe – for reference, the strongest magnetic field created in the lab so far is a “mere” 1,200 Tesla.

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.

“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.

According to the ESA, “Our magnetic field is largely generated by an ocean of superheated, swirling liquid iron that makes up the outer core around 1,864 miles beneath our feet.
