Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s magnetosphere is charged opposite to what was once believed. The area of space influenced by Earth’s magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. Within this ...

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 ...

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 ...
