Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

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

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective shield, deflecting dangerous solar radiation and helping make life possible on the planet. But scientists know that throughout history the planet’s magnetic ...

A newly developed model defines the upper limit to the strength of planetary magnetic fields. The model can help better understand exoplanets.

We all know that stars radiate light and much more. But radiation belts can also surround many other celestial bodies, such ...

The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

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

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Her voice will be familiar to listeners of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. But in the decade since Emma Barnett was diagnosed ...
