Recent flybys of the fiery world refute a leading theory of its inner structure — and reveal how little is understood about ...

How it works Artist’s impression of how an ultrafast disruption of superconductivity in a YBCO thin film triggers an abrupt magnetic field quench, setting off dynamics in a neighbouring magnetic ...

X [4] user @lolt64 continued posting about the War on the Ice Planet Europa, gathering nearly 2,000 likes on an April 9th, 2025, post captioned, "MEANWHILE, ON THE WAR-TORN ICE MOON EUROPA, IN THE PRE ...

New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s magnetic field weakened and shifted during an event called the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, potentially influencing human evolution at a pivotal ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why Mars, once protected by a global magnetic field like Earth, now shows only a magnetic imprint mostly concentrated in the planet’s southern hemisphere. A new study ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." Magnetars are surrounded by the most powerful magnetic fields in the known ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

This anomaly, characterized by unusually strong magnetic field readings, spans hundreds of kilometers and represents one of the most prominent subsurface features in North America. Unlike visible ...

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.
