In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an ...

The moon may be silent and still today, but billions of years ago, it likely crackled with magnetic activity. Though the moon now lacks a global magnetic field, its rocks—especially those on the ...

That’s why many experts believe sharks navigate by sensing Earth’s magnetic field, perhaps using the same electromagnetic sensory organs that help them track down prey.

July 9 could be the shortest day of your life as the Earth's accelerating rotation is expected to make today fly by quicker ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

The poles can flip over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, and this can happen at random, with intervals ranging anywhere from 10,000 years to 50 million years or more. Around 41,000 years ...

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.

Surprising discovery shows a strong link between Earth's magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen levels by Sanjukta Mondal, Phys.org ...

When set spinning, the setup mimics the roiling liquid iron in the Earth’s outer core, which forms electrical currents that generate the magnetic field in a process called a dynamo.

The strength of Earth's magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen for hundreds of millions of years, according to a newly released analysis by NASA scientists ...
