Roughly 42,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened dramatically during the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, allowing more cosmic radiation to reach the atmosphere. In a peer‑reviewed study of ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

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

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

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 ...

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

The Sun’s magnetic poles are in the middle of an uneven, drawn-out reversal as Solar Cycle 25 moves through its solar maximum phase. NASA and NOAA jointly announced that the current cycle has entered ...

Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale – 1000 times smaller than a human ...
