Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

The Sun's magnetic field does impact the movement of plasma on the Sun's surface, but it does not actually impact the amount ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known ...

Physicists have found a way to circumvent a 178-year old theory which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way which has ...
