A research team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

NOAA scientists have spent decades tracking how magnetic north wanders, but recent modeling shows a pole moving in ways ...

Earth’s magnetic field is often described as a steady shield, but the geological record tells a more restless story. Polarity flips, when magnetic north and south swap places, happen several times per ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

Scientists have debated for decades whether Earth’s magnetic field plays a role in keeping the planet habitable. The question ...

“Enceladus, Saturn’s small icy moon, is famous for its water geysers, but its actual impact and interaction with the giant planet has remained partly unknown. This result from Cassini transforms our ...

The 35.6-tesla magnet dwarfs hospital MRI machines and opens new frontiers in materials science and life sciences research.

Earth spins, shifts, and now… flips? Our planet’s gymnastics routine continues underneath our feet nearly every day, but researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Germany recently mapped ...

Geologists have mapped a strange magnetic anomaly in Australia – and in a stunning coincidence, it happens to look remarkably ...

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

High magnetic fields are a vital tool in many areas of science and technology that impact our everyday lives, from medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to drug discovery ...
