A new video shows how Earth's magnetic field weakened and warped before temporarily flipping during a recent "polar reversal event." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

An animation showing magnetic field instabilities in two jets of radiation and matter beaming from a supermassive black hole (center). The magnetic field (white) is twisted by the black hole's spin.

<p>Simulation of a possible quadrupole magnetic field configuration for a pulsar with hot spots in only the southern hemisphere. <p>View animated GIF: <a target ...

Magnetic field data collected by ESA's Swarm satellites and other sources has been coverted into these frightening sounds.

For decades, scientists have puzzled over a curious phenomenon: the Moon’s surface rocks show strong signs of magnetism, despite the fact that the Moon doesn’t have a global magnetic field today. Now, ...

Most of us like stability in our lives, especially when it comes to planet-wide phenomena, such as the daily appearance of the sun or the periodic change of season. So it can be unsettling to learn of ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

Our planet’s magnetic field is “singing.” The European Space Agency just released a recording of the frequencies generated as a solar storm collided with Earth’s magnetic field. It was released ...

The Event Horizon Telescope has sharpened up the historic image it released in 2019 of the massive object at the center of a distant galaxy. Astronomers have released a brand-new image of the ...

Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is a non‐invasive imaging modality that deduces spatial variations in electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability through the analysis of perturbations in ...

Tests for contamination in water, blood or food could become more rapid thanks to a Raman-based optical analysis method developed at MIT. The new approach uses Dynabeads, artificial spherical ...
