Far below the deepest boreholes, Earth’s core appears to keep its own rhythm, a slow magnetic throb that repeats roughly ...

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

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth is quietly sending out a slow magnetic heartbeat. Every seven ...

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

BepiColombo is slowly uncovering more and more fun facts about Mercury as it continues its preliminary mission. One of the more interesting things found so far is a magnetic "chorus" that appears ...

Earth’s magnetic field is easy to forget. It doesn’t make noise, it doesn’t flash, and it doesn’t ask for attention. Yet it ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature. Every so often, the magnetic north and south poles swap places in what are ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Researchers have developed an innovative method to study ultrafast magnetism in materials. They have shown the generation and application of magnetic field steps, in which a magnetic field is turned ...

Spin waves are collective oscillations of electron spins in magnetic materials. They represent a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which electrons’ angular momentum or spin fluctuates in a coordinated ...
