Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...
Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...
In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...
A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...
A sharp, S-shaped kink in the solar wind has just swept past our planet, giving scientists their first clear look at a magnetic “switchback” inside Earth’s own magnetic shield. The zigzagging ...
[Dr. Fortin] teaches physics at a French High School, and to get his students interested in the natural world around them, he built a geomagnetic observatory, able to tell his students if they have a ...
