The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

Scientists discovered Earth’s magnetic field is weakening over the Atlantic Ocean, but what does that mean for life on the ...

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 ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Ever seen the northern lights? You have a magnetic layer in Earth’s atmosphere to thank for those beautiful displays. But the magnetosphere does a lot more than create auroras.

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European ...
