As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

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 ...

This video provides a clear explanation of inductors and their role in electronic circuits. Inductors are passive components that store energy in a magnetic field and resist changes in current. The ...

For the first time in the history of solar observation, NASA has made the Sun’s invisible magnetic behavior visible. Using footage recorded during a recent flyby, the Parker Solar Probe has shown the ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...

A new framework for understanding the non-monotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related anomalous Hall effect in highly ...
