Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

For 540-million years, the ebb and flow in the strength of Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released analysis by NASA scientists. The ...

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.Comparing 540 ...

Yet every so often the field randomly flips its polarity. Were this to happen again today, our north-pointing compasses would point to the South Pole. Strength of the magnetic field at Earth's surface ...

This new study builds upon that foundation by providing more exact measurements of Jupiter's size, spin rate, and magnetic conditions at an early, pivotal time.

Birds Migration. Image by Claude Laprise via Unsplash. Before delving into how birds sense magnetism, it’s important to understand what they’re sensing. Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the ...

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 ...

In a nutshell Uranus and Neptune have weird, disorganized magnetic fields because their interiors naturally separate into two distinct layers—a flowing water-rich upper layer and a stable ...

You can picture the magnetic field like arched lines that leave the north pole and enter the south pole [5]. The Earth's magnetic field aligns with its axis of rotation but is not stable over time.

While you may picture ancient human ancestors looking baffled as their anachronistic compasses suddenly flip direction, these reversals are not so simple, and the magnetic field can weaken to as ...

Recent findings by the EHT collaboration reveal strong, organized magnetic fields around Sagittarius A*, suggesting common traits among black holes. Detailed comparisons with M87’s black hole show ...

A new catalyst integrating magnetic nanoparticles enhances hydrogen peroxide production efficiency to 90%, offering a safer and more environmentally friendly method. Credit: ©Hao Li et al. New ...
