(CNN) — The sun has a powerful magnetic field that creates sunspots on the star’s surface and unleashes solar storms such as the one that bathed much of the planet in beautiful auroras this month. But ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Recent scientific revelations have brought to light that Earth’s magnetic field, our primary line of defense against harmful solar radiation, can experience significant weakening in a matter of months ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

Chinese scientists announced on Sunday that they have successfully generated a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss with a ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...

A research team led by the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed an all-superconducting ...

A recent study published inScience Advances reveals that a temporary collapse of Earth’s magnetic field, known as the Laschamps Excursion, had profound effects on early humans. Drawing from ...
