Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Scientists have officially resolved a long-standing mystery about the Moon’s internal structure, confirming that its inner core is not molten, but a solid sphere with a density akin to iron. This ...

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

“Hazards have to be respected,” Lathrop says. With the sphere spinning at 45 miles per hour, and a little help from electro­magnets, the team saw short-lived magnetic bursts within the sodium.

The job of a catalyst is to ultimately speed up reactions, which could reduce an hour-long process into several minutes. It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate ...

Prior to about 3.56 billion years ago, the dynamo effect from these factors combined created a magnetic field, albeit one much weaker than Earth’s present magnetic field (which measures about 50 ...

Although the magnetic field of Mars hasn’t been in effect for billions of years, the evidence it left behind may suggest that the planet’s core is entirely liquid. Magnetic imprints still exist on ...
