New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

Solar storms —giant bursts of energy from the Sun that disturb the Earth’s magnetic field—may play a role in triggering heart ...

If you ever travel back in time to hang out with Homo sapiens around 41,000 years ago, pack some sunscreen – or better yet, a tailored outfit, and seek out a cave shelter. New research from the ...

Space weather, particularly geomagnetic storms from solar activity, surprisingly impacts human health. These cosmic events, disturbing Earth's magnetic field, are linked to subtle but measurable ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...

A reconstruction of a Neanderthal man in the Natural History Museum, Vienna. A new study suggests Neanderthals could not adapt to a period of increased radiation as well as early modern humans did.

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...
