Physicists weren’t sure why Moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions are more strongly magnetized than models predict ...

Rocks returned to Earth during NASA's Apollo program from 1968 to 1972 have provided volumes of information about the Moon's history, but they've also been the source of an enduring mystery. Analysis ...

Researchers pose answer to question of moon’s past magnetism New research offers “plausible” explanation for puzzling strength of moon’s magnetic field Previously, researchers viewed the ancient ...

A new study published in Science Advances suggests that the long-standing enigma of the Moon’s magnetism may finally have a clear explanation. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of ...

A super-precise experiment at Fermilab is carefully analyzing every detail of the muon’s magnetic moment. Modern physics is full of the sort of twisty, puzzle-within-a-puzzle plots you’d find in a ...
