The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Lunar rocks are famously dry. They contain almost none of the volatile elements that easily escape into space, such as ...

Researchers have developed a precision magnetometer based on a special material that changes optical properties in response ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

A lab in China has produced the most powerful steady magnetic field in the world. The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, recorded a field strength of 45.22 Tesla (T) on ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...

Permanent magnets play a crucial role in medicine due to its field strength, tunability of field and gradient distributions, as well as practical implementation. In a new study published in KeAi ...
