New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s magnetic field weakened and shifted during an event called the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, potentially influencing human evolution at a pivotal ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field dropped to just 10% of its current level, while the magnetic poles wandered far from their usual locations. For about 300 years, the magnetic fi ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials. Scientists at Flinders ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why Mars, once protected by a global magnetic field like Earth, now shows only a magnetic imprint mostly concentrated in the planet’s southern hemisphere. A new study ...

NASA's EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission has taken its first measurements.

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

Earth’s moving interior generates our planet’s magnetic field, an invisible shield that helps protect us and our atmosphere from harmful energy coming from space. This magnetic field has a ...

NASA scientists are concerned about a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, which can make life at the International Space Station difficult. The vast and evolving phenomenon is called the ...
