Simulations and satellite data reveal that Earth's magnetic field is more complex than scientists had thought. Scientists ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

Based on the grazing view, the general consensus was that the plasma cells and the magnetic field shifted poleward more slowly than at the equator. But Solar Orbiter has shown that the speed is higher ...

It all begins with Earth’s magnetic field, an invisible shield that protects us from most of the radiation and charged ...

An already gigantic hole in Earth’s natural force field has grown by nearly half the size of Europe in 10 years, according to a new study. The Earth is protected by the cosmic equivalent of cling film ...

Aurorae such as the southern lights, seen here over Antarctica, show the geomagnetic field in action. Some areas of the field, which shields Earth’s surface from charged solar particles, are stronger ...

The engineering of optically synthesized magnetic fields allows neutral atoms to emulate charged behavior, paving the way for ...
