A new study reveals Earth's magnetic flips can last up to 70,000 years, exposing life to increased solar radiation.

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

Earth’s magnetic field does not simply switch direction like a flipped light switch. It weakens, wanders, and reorganizes ...

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Small magnetic waves have been discovered at Earth's core, with each oscillation working on a seven year cycle. Earth's magnetic field is generated by electric currents generated by the movement of ...

A University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist has made the first-ever measurement of the strength of the magnetic field inside Earth’s core, 1,800 miles underground. The magnetic field strength ...

No matter how memory technology marches on, magnetic core memory is still cool. Radiation-hard, nonvolatile, and so pretty. What’s there not to love? [Mark Nesselhaus] is no stranger to fun ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...
