Earth’s magnetic field is easy to forget. It doesn’t make noise, it doesn’t flash, and it doesn’t ask for attention. Yet it ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

Ancient volcanic rocks reveal how two giant hot regions beneath Africa and the Pacific have shaped Earth's magnetic shield.

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

Polarized light observations from ALMA reveal the magnetic structures and galactic outflows in Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, providing detailed field maps.

New radio observations of the Milky Way are exposing hidden patterns in its magnetic field. People have scanned the night sky ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

For decades, scientists have suspected the presence of a magnetic field that holds the Milky Way together, but only now has ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures. Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle ...
