A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...

Explore the fascinating physics behind current loop torque and how it interacts with magnetic fields in this detailed video! Learn how electric currents in loops generate forces and torques, ...
