A story that begins with three animals riding in a balloon ends with the discovery of protons impacting our atmosphere with ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed.

Did ancient sunscreen and sewing needles save humanity? In a nutshell 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials. Scientists at Flinders ...

Imagine waking up one morning to a world where compasses point south instead of north, where auroras shimmer across the ...

The team found that the North Pole wandered over Europe when the magnetic field's poles started to flip positions, a natural process that has happened around 180 times over Earth's geological history.

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

This restless movement of metal generates the planet’s magnetic field—a force invisible to the eye but deeply influential in everything from global navigation to shielding Earth from solar ...

Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H ...

These spectacular lights resemble those seen on Earth, where they're generated when energetic particles interact with our planet's magnetic field, but Jupiter's auroras are believed to proceed ...

That means the layer stays denser farther into space than it would without the field. Plasma density near the edge of Earth’s magnetic boundary increases by over 3,800% due to this field.
