Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are directly influencing our planet's magnetic field in ways we're only beginning ...

Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in the final phase have now moved on to launching their satellites within the ...

For most of modern science, humans were believed to lack any ability to sense Earth’s magnetic field. Magnetoreception was considered a specialised adaptation found in migratory birds, sea turtles, ...

Earth’s magnetic field is the vector field generated primarily by dynamo action in the liquid outer core, where convective motion of electrically conducting iron alloys induces and sustains a ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over why magnetic reconnection seems to occur at nearly the same speed in vastly different regions of space.

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release ...
