The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years. This has sparked many questions and concerns about the implications of such ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...

The solar wind flows around Earth's magnetic field. A new NASA study suggests that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and strength of the magnetic field have been correlated for more than half a ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet's magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, a region over the South Atlantic where the field’s strength is significantly reduced compared to its surrounding area, has grown by an area nearly the size of ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his discoveries could enable. Sometimes, though, what he finds is just too weird ...

About 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly flipped in what is known as the Laschamp event. Now, a group of scientists using data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Swarm mission have ...
