Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within ...

Scientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field using a magnetic tube resting stationary on the planet’s surface.

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed.

In 1862, James Clerk Maxwell published his famous Maxwell’s equations. This was at a time when humans were just starting to ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

Our experimental system is a photoemission electron microscope, so magnetic fields deflect the electrons and make the experiments difficult,' says Valencia. 'The maximum magnetic field we can ...

Uncover the mysteries of Mars' magnetic field, generated by a molten core, unlike Earth's solid core structure.

Scientists have long puzzled over why Mars, once protected by a global magnetic field like Earth, now shows only a magnetic ...

The Earth’s magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nano particles and materials. Scientists at Flinders ...

While people go about their daily routines, the planet is in perpetual motion, rotating through its own magnetic field. A new ...

Our experimental system is a photoemission electron microscope, so magnetic fields deflect the electrons and make the experiments difficult,' says Valencia. 'The maximum magnetic field we can ...
