Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass trick it’s a shield that protects life and technology from harmful radiation. See how magnetic shifts, excursions, and anomalies impact satellites, power ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum ...

The Ediacaran Period of Earth’s past was poorly understood, and the enigmatic fluctuations and magnetism could have been ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Earth's magnetic field is weakening and its north pole is shifting faster than previously observed, raising concerns about a potential geomagnetic reversal. Geomagnetic reversals, where the magnetic ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. This article is more than 4 years old. A hammer appears to stick to a ...
