Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth is quietly sending out a slow magnetic heartbeat. Every seven ...

Today, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) announced the completion of all components for its pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. This intricate network of magnets, ...

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

Small magnetic waves have been discovered at Earth's core, with each oscillation working on a seven year cycle. Earth's magnetic field is generated by electric currents generated by the movement of ...

A University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist has made the first-ever measurement of the strength of the magnetic field inside Earth’s core, 1,800 miles underground. The magnetic field strength ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to the creation of a planet’s magnetic fields, which protect the entire planet ...

This shifts our entire perspective on what makes a planet “Earth-like.” Nature is far more creative than our own solar system suggests. The universe might be teeming with “magma-shielded” worlds that ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...
