A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ends of the magnetosphere, which surrounds the Earth like a giant, invisible ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 years. While this solar polarity shift is not dangerous, it can impact space ...

Researchers have created a molecule that can store magnetic data at record-high temperatures, potentially reshaping how ...

A space physicist has suggested that a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles may have wiped out the Neanderthals.

Never before seen pictures will help scientists learn how the Sun's activity changes from stormy to quiet periods ...

A fluffy, Jupiter-sized planet may be triggering deadly flares from its star, leading to the slow destruction of its own ...

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

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting ...
