The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

There are several theories about how the Earth and the Moon were formed, most involving a giant impact. They vary from a model where the impacting object strikes the newly formed Earth a glancing blow ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially surprised the researchers before they went on to solve the ...

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 ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

One of the most peculiar things about Uranus and Neptune is their magnetic fields. Each of these planets has a hot mess of a magnetosphere, off-kilter and tilted wildly from the rotational axis in a ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

Stuart Clark’s excellent article “Our magnetic universe” stated that nuclear fusion “relies on strong magnetic fields to trap energy and heat” and that this “unexpected ability of the [galactic] ...

A peculiar property of the Earth's magnetic field could help us to work out how our planet was created 4.5 billion years ago, according to a new scientific assessment. There are several theories about ...
