Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...

Join the Mythbusters for fun with supermagnets. It casts enough magnetic force to slow a locomotive from a quarter-million miles away--the distance of the Earth from the moon. The "magnetar," or ...

After a decade of silence, one of the most powerful magnets in the universe suddenly burst back to life in late 2018. The reawakening of this “magnetar”, a city-sized star named XTE J1810-197 born ...

Oxford scientists have discovered that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was mostly weak but experienced rare, powerful ...

Engineers are shipping the world’s most powerful magnet to the construction site of the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor called ITER in France. The massive 1,000 ton solenoid, a type of ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

Just as the ancient civilizations built the most unbelievable worship temples and idols, we are now creating something just as powerful, a “Sun on Earth” that will forever transform the way we obtain ...

Warnings about magnets and gadgets have been passed down like tech folklore, often without much explanation. The reality is more nuanced: some electronics are genuinely vulnerable to magnetic fields, ...
