In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

This video explores the nature of magnets and how they create invisible magnetic forces. It explains the origin of magnetism, how magnetic fields are formed, and the role of electrons in generating ...

Primordial magnetic fields may help explain why measurements of the universe’s expansion do not agree. Scientists have long known that the universe is expanding, yet there is still no agreement on how ...

Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory ...

Most planets have a magnetic field, like Earth, but with different strength or structure. It shields the planet from the energetic particles of the solar wind. The origin of the magnetic field is ...

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool have found two strange anomalies that have affected the Earth's magnetic field for millions of years.

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered new large-scale waves moving deep inside the sun, driven by magnetic fields far below the surface. These waves provide a window into parts of the sun that ...

Researchers studying an ancient meteorite strike in India have discovered that intense shockwaves from planetary collisions ...

(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 ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they are ...

New method detects magnetic signals in metal that make it possible to predict fractures before they occur and prevent critical failures.
