Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

An already gigantic hole in Earth’s natural force field has grown by nearly half the size of Europe in 10 years, according to a new study. The Earth is protected by the cosmic equivalent of cling film ...

A severe geomagnetic storm put the power grids in at least 11 states at risk this week, posing a threat to millions.

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

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum ...

Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, with each containing hundreds or even ...

The concept of magnetic field lines and magnetic fields was first studied and observed by Michael Faraday and by James Clerk Maxwell, who made great discoveries in the field of electromagnetism.

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...
