Abundant, low-cost, clean energy—the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method ...

The fusion reactor’s electromagnetic “heart” is complete, bringing us one step closer to clean, infinite energy—though ...

Scientists have developed a method for storing quantum information in a single dimension, thereby reducing decoherence, using ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why Mars, once protected by a global magnetic field like Earth, now shows only a magnetic imprint mostly concentrated in the planet’s southern hemisphere. A new study ...

New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s magnetic field weakened and shifted during an event called the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, potentially influencing human evolution at a pivotal ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

Deep beneath the rolling hills and plains of Missouri lies one of North America’s most fascinating geological mysteries. In the early 2010s, geophysicists detected a significant magnetic anomaly ...

Although the magnetic field of Mars hasn’t been in effect for billions of years, the evidence it left behind may suggest that the planet’s core is entirely liquid. Magnetic imprints still exist on ...

I own a one-quarter share in a field of 10 acres. It cost me £5,000 when I bought it 32 years ago, and it is now worth approximately £45,000. There is a clause in the agreement that if one ...

“Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind,” said lead author Dr. Chi Yan from the University of Texas and colleagues. “But now only the ...
