Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

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

Earth's magnetic north pole is on the move, prompting updates to the World Magnetic Model (WMM). This crucial tool for ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange ...

Check your compass again — Earth’s north magnetic pole is moving toward Siberia. Since at least the early 19th century, Earth’s north magnetic pole has been situated in the Canadian Arctic ...

This is an article from Curious Kids, a series for children. The Conversation is asking kids to send in questions they’d like an expert to answer. All questions are welcome – serious, weird or wacky!

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements.

Scientists have long considered the potential of harvesting the Earth’s magnetic field for energy and extensive research has been conducted into its influence. One theory proposes that the process of ...

the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...

the magnetic north pole of the planet is decided by Earth's magnetic field, which is constantly moving and never static. Scientists noted that over the past few years, the movement of the magnetic ...

Magnetars are known to have enormous magnetic fields which are hundreds trillions times stronger the Earth magnetic fields. Due to these fields magnetars are bright and variable sources of X-ray ...
