Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.

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 field tilted ...

During the Laschamps excursion, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, while the magnetic poles shifted dramatically away from the geographic poles. “The excursion lasted ...

An international research team led by Mayukh Kumar Ray, Mingxuan Fu, and Satoru Nakatsuji from the University of Tokyo, along ...

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 ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti ... with co-star after more than 40 years 10 Easy Dinners That Start With a Bag of ...

Scientists have discovered two rare white dwarfs—which are among the dimmest stars in the universe—that feature changes in ...

Abstract: Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) operating in the spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) regime achieve excellent sensitivity in environments with zero magnetic fields. Therefore, it is ...

An international research team has discovered the anomalous Hall effect in a collinear antiferromagnet. More strikingly, the anomalous Hall effect emerges from a non-Fermi liquid state, in which ...

A powerful X1.1-class solar flare was released by the sun on March 28, resulting in radio blackouts across North and South America ...
