Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

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

Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in ...

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?

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) are helping reshape how scientists study the sun. The ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed. When you ...
