Researchers have identified a period of sluggish magnetic field flipping for planet Earth, some 40 million years ago – ...

Researchers used a pair of powerful supercomputers to simulate the potential trajectories of 1 million satellites in a ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

The magnetic fields are more than a thousand times stronger than the magnetic field used in MRI machines.

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the ...

Simulations suggest that two enormous masses of hot rock have been involved in generating Earth’s magnetic field and giving it an irregular shape ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of the planets magnetic field. Data from the European Space Agency's Swarm ...

Earth’s magnetic field can linger in a weakened, unstable state for tens of thousands of years before fully flipping.

Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from ...

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth's magnetic ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient sediments hint that Earth’s magnetic field sometimes changed far more slowly than expected.
