A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

In a bizarre gamma-ray space explosion whose light reached Earth in 2023, a team led by astronomer Run-Chao Chen of Nanjing ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Research using 250,000 simulations and observations shows early Universe magnetic fields were incredibly weak, yet still ...

Researchers explain why weak magnetic fields can instantly control electrical flow direction in these quantum metals.

In the crowded early Solar System, young planets frequently collided and reshaped each other. But Mercury stood out. It formed unusually close to the Sun. Mercury’s days are longer than its years. It ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
