High magnetic fields are a vital tool in many areas of science and technology that impact our everyday lives, from medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to drug discovery ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are directly influencing our planet's magnetic field in ways we're only beginning ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed. When you ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

In-plane magnetic fields are responsible for inducing anomalous Hall effect in certain films, report researchers. By studying how these fields change electronic structures, the team discovered a large ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...
