A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Created by the sun, the protective bubble of the heliosphere shields our solar system from harmful radiation. A new mission ...

The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

Scientists asked a simple question: when Earth’s magnetic field gets unsettled from solar storms, is there a correlation with ...

Recently, I came across a piece of news stating that scientists have discovered that the Earth's magnetic field is declining, which really startled me. I mean, if this magnetic field keeps decreasing, ...

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Earth’s magnetic field flipped — and now, scientists have recreated the haunting sound it made during that cataclysmic event. Using data from the European Space ...

New research reveals that faint magnetic fields from the early Universe helped shape the cosmic web. These ancient fields ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's ...
