Oxford scientists have discovered that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was mostly weak but experienced rare, powerful ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they ...

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

Roughly 42,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened dramatically during the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the atmosphere. In a peer‑reviewed study of ...

Rocks from the Apollo missions show there was strong magnetism on the Moon, but researchers now believe these rocks mark extremely rare increases in magnetic strength. As models have long suggested, ...

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...
