A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultra-high magnetic fields via ...

With GPS increasingly vulnerable to tampering, planes need more reliable navigation systems. The magnetic pull in the Earth’s ...

An animation using data from the European Space Agency (ESA) allows you to "listen" to Earth's magnetic field being disrupted ...

Our first meeting was a bit awkward. One of us is an archaeologist who studies how past peoples interacted with their environments. Two of us are geophysicists who investigate interactions between so ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

China's Chang’e-6 mission has delivered the first-ever samples from the Moon’s far side, shedding light on one of planetary ...
