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.

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective shield, deflecting dangerous solar radiation and helping make life possible on ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts more than half a century ago are providing a fresh take on the moon's mysterious ...

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.

The Apollo missions’ strange landing zone has led to decades of incorrect assumptions about the Moon’s magnetic field strength.
