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

Researchers in Japan have shown that a common oxide material, when engineered precisely enough, can exhibit a rare magnetic ...

Polydopamine-coated magnetic liposomes offer insight into the lectin–glycan interactions in motion. By observing minute changes in the rotational motion of magnetic nanoparticles under alternating ...

Our planet's invisible shield is changing in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Over the past two hundred ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...

Thanks to new calculations by a Dartmouth geochemist, scientists are now looking at the earth’s climate history in a new light. Mukul Sharma, Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth, ...

Due to our growing dependence on data, scientists are always looking for stable ways to store electronic files. A multinational team comprised of experts from the United States, China and Germany ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...
