Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The southern Atlantic anomaly shrinks that protective bubble, but not so much ...

Moroccan rocks reveal that Earth’s magnetic field once changed fast but followed a hidden order, helping scientists map ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Magnetic graphene oxide sheets fold, move, sense motion, and switch function by swapping magnetic layers, offering a fast, reprogrammable platform for soft robots and other morphable structures.

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Recent satellite observations have unveiled a rapidly expanding weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field. This massive anomaly, monitored by NASA since March 2025, has been growing at an unprecedented rate ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...
