"The solar wind squished Jupiter’s magnetic shield like a giant squash ball," O'Donoghue said. "This created a super-hot ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

Follow-up research on a 2023 image of the Sagittarius C stellar nursery in the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, captured by ...

Doomsayers would have a field ... an explanation. Fortunately, those scientists in the know—paleomagnetists, to be exact—would have a ready answer. Such reversals in the Earth's magnetic ...

Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that occur naturally, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated that the self-assembly of ...

It looked still to you before because you were moving with it. We have this same problem with electric and magnetic fields. Depending on your reference frame, what appears to be a magnetic force ...

A wire carrying a current creates a magnetic field. This can interact with another magnetic field, causing a force that pushes the wire at right angles. This is called the motor effect.

Magneto-optics is the use of magnetic fields to influence light propagation. This usually involves changing the physical properties of the medium through which the light is travelling. An example ...

One hypothesis is that these magnetars could be aged versions of classical magnetars, whose initially strong dipolar magnetic field would have extracted their angular momentum before gradually ...
