"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

Earth’s magnetic field nearly collapsed long ago. What saved it explains why life survived and why the planet remains ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Two or more satellites could communicate and manoeuvre around one another using magnetic fields, although getting the technique to work at scale in space might be tricky ...

When the magnetic field around the Earth grows stronger, oxygen levels rise. That is the surprising finding of a new study looking at more than half a billion years of planetary history. Researchers ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

"Chorus waves are now included in forecasting models that are designed to protect these satellites." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...
