Quantum materials, materials exhibiting physical behavior governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved promising ...

Planets beyond our solar system can have magnetic fields similar to those closer to home, astronomers said Tuesday after observing extreme winds on scorching worlds known as "hot Jupiters." ...

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 ...

A surprising reversal in molten iron flow beneath the Pacific is giving scientists a sharper view of how Earth’s magnetic ...

What can an exoplanet’s magnetic field teach astronomers about an exoplanet’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of ...

A new study suggests Ganymede—our neighborhood's biggest moon—still has a hot, churning core cranking out its unique magnetic field. Reading time 3 minutes Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Thomas Mulligan examines the profound risks and global disruptions that could occur if our planet's protective magnetic field ...

The Animal That Reads the Earth A reef manta ray tagged off the Maldives in 2015 travelled over 1,100 kilometres in a single ...

A strange "chirping" signal from a distant supernova has revealed the birth of a magnetar, confirming that these incredibly magnetic neutron stars can power the universe's brightest stellar explosions ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...
