Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new insights into its future. Earth benefits from the presence of a magnetic field ...

Gravitational waves are energy-carrying waves produced by the acceleration or disturbance of massive objects. These waves, ...

A new University of Michigan study offers one of the most detailed pictures so far of how violent sun storms spread across ...

An animation showing magnetic field instabilities in two jets of radiation and matter beaming from a supermassive black hole (center). The magnetic field (white) is twisted by the black hole's spin.

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

<p>Simulation of a possible quadrupole magnetic field configuration for a pulsar with hot spots in only the southern hemisphere. <p>View animated GIF: <a target ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

For the study, the researchers modeled the influence of “flux ropes,” which are relatively smaller, tornado-like spirals of ...

Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to ...
