Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

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

Explore electric charge trajectories in a constant magnetic field in this detailed explanation! In this video, we break down how charged particles move under magnetic influence, discuss circular and ...

A rogue, planet-size object 20 light-years away from Earth has stunned astronomers with its incredibly powerful magnetic field. The scientists found that the object's magnetic field is more than 200 ...

Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

Understand electric and magnetic forces through a clear velocity selector example! In this video, we break down how charged particles behave under electric and magnetic fields, explain the underlying ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

New observations from the National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory's (NSF NRAO) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (NSF VLA) provide compelling evidence supporting a universal ...

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 ...

Mercury likely has a partly molten core, a new study indicates. This molten material may be generating the planet’s weak magnetic field, whose existence has been a puzzle since its discovery more than ...

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 ...

There may be more northern lights – or aurora borealis – sightings this spring. As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind ...
