The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange bursts ...

Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field behaved in a way that has long baffled scientists, showing wild and seemingly chaotic shifts unlike anything seen before or since. A new study ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A flower-shaped structure only a few ...

The perspective-changing "overview effect" is magnified when you're looking back at Earth from beyond the moon, according to Artemis 2's Christina Koch.

SMU researchers have created an electromagnetic coil system that can control microrobots without requiring continuous visual ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to low-energy control of spin textures for future computing devices. (Nanowerk ...
