A fast-expanding weak zone in Earth’s magnetic field is drawing the attention of scientists, satellite operators, and geomagnetic modelers worldwide. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), this ...
That's not to say current observatories can't do some preliminary work with strong magnetic fields, but given that HWO won't be launching for at least another 15 years, it might be a while before we ...
A radio signal has been detected, pointing to the possible existence of a magnetic field on YZ Ceti b, an exoplanet 12 ...

Magnetic fields around a planet or the Sun can overpower the zonal jets that affect atmospheric circulation. New research by a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientist and a ...
A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.
If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...
For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...
