When it slammed into Earth's magnetic field, the impact triggered a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm, which in turn led to ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.

The interstellar medium in our Milky Way galaxy is magnetic, can be compressed, and is turbulent. It affects important ...

The magnetic shifts can affect navigation systems used by airplanes, ships and even your mobile phone. A technology competition to devise a new means of more accurately measuring Earth's magnetic ...

This map and an internal magnetic ‘compass’ rely on distinct mechanisms, implying that turtles have two magnetic senses. We developed a magnetic-coil system that could replicate the magnetic ...

The findings, appearing in The Astrophysical Journal, suggest magnetic fields strongly impact star-forming regions which means they played a part in the creation of our own solar system. It might ...

Magnetic north has drifted so fast in recent decades that scientists are scrambling to keep navigation tech that relies on the magnetic poles to map the planet up to date. On the move. The ...
