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 ...

Our planet's invisible shield is changing in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Over the past two hundred ...

It would be an understatement to say that the Earth's magnetic field is important. It's one of the reasons we're able to live on this rock tumbling through space, and it also gives us the gorgeous ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in the direction of Africa over the past decade. When you purchase through ...

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth's magnetic field over the South ...

A Korean research team has developed a technology that can collect the magnetic field formed around power transmission lines ...

University of Rochester researchers studied Earth’s magnetic field during the transformative Ediacaran Period, which spanned from about 635 to 541 million years ago. The research raises questions ...

How could such a small body with a weak core have created magnetic fields as strong as Earth’s? Now, a team led by researchers at MIT may have found the answer. Their study, published in Science ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Researchers uncovered compelling evidence that Earth's magnetic field was in a highly unusual state when the macroscopic animals of the Ediacaran Period -- 635 to 541 million years ago -- diversified ...
