NASA launches TRACERS satellites to reveal how solar energy penetrates Earth's magnetic shield and triggers space storms.

Low-frequency magnetic fields can impact electronic devices, inducing unwanted current flows in sensitive paths that can add noise, introduce errors, and otherwise disrupt carefully balanced circuits.

This chamber might not look empty—but in fact it’s missing something that usually permeates every space on Earth: magnetic fields. And it will help physicists in the quest for a unifying Theory of ...

Next to a nuclear reactor in Germany is a four ton, ten cubic meter metal box surrounded by lasers. The box is the most magnetically-shielded room ever built: the magnetic field inside is just a tenth ...

Superconducting magnets, commonly found in MRI scanners, produce stronger, more efficient magnetic fields using smaller and lighter magnets than magnets made using conventional materials such as ...

X-men’s Magneto isn’t the only who can shield magnetic fields. Spanish researchers have designed what they call the world's first "anti-magnet," a magnetic cloak that can act as a shield they envision ...

The Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...

One of the “quietest” magnetic environments in the Milky Way has been unveiled at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Built by physicists based in Germany, the US and Switzerland, the shielded ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is more permeable than previously thought, according to researchers analysing data from the European Space Agency’s Cluster mission. The findings have implications for ...
