Geologists discovered ancient rocks in Greenland that preserve the oldest known traces of Earth’s early magnetic field.

Scientists have discovered microscopic magnetic fossils, potentially revealing how ancient marine life navigated vast oceans using Earth's magnetic field.

Minor geomagnetic storms (G1–G2) are likely, which are enough to spark auroras in the northern tier of the United States. But ...

Every so often—every 250,000 years on average—the Earth's magnetic poles reverse polarity. If such a reversal happened today, compass needles would point south rather than north. Here, view a computer ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

Scientists at the Florida State University-based National High Magnetic Field Laboratory just created what they claim to be the world’s strongest magnetic field using a toilet paper roll-sized magnet ...
