Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient sediments hint that Earth’s magnetic field sometimes changed far more slowly than expected.
Far beneath the Atlantic, a vast distortion in Earth’s magnetic shield has been charted with a clarity that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a sprawling weak zone ...
Earth's magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature. Every so often, the magnetic north and south poles swap places in what are ...
A new method enables researchers to analyse magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. The new method achieves a resolution of around 70 nanometers, whereas normal light microscopes have a ...
Analyzing magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution is a test-and-measurement challenge, but it’s important for both advanced physics insight as well as real-world products such as high-density ...
A video recently released by the ESA's Solar Orbiter and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory showed a magnetic avalanche on the surface of the sun.
