Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

Researchers discovered that weak magnetic fields and isotopes can alter cellular protein structures. The findings suggest a ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Observations by ISRO's Aditya L1 mission has helped scientists explain geomagnetic disturbances at dawn during severe space weather events. The observations were conducted during the solar storms of ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening.

Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

External sources, such as the early solar wind or Earth’s magnetic field, were too weak or faded too early. Internal sources like a magma ocean or mantle-core precession might have helped, but ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...
