Exposure to a tweaked magnetic field scrambled desert ants’ efforts to learn where home is — and affected neuron connections in a key part of the brain.

Unexpected Metal Flow Challenges Theories Of How Earth's Magnetic Field Forms A bold experiment shows a dramatic improvement in our understanding of the planet beneath our feet.

Unlike the Earth, Mars does not have a strong, global magnetic field. This field helps to protect our planet from cosmic rays and retain its atmosphere.

They experimented to see if they could create electricity by using a specially designed hollow magnetic cylinder to capture energy using the Earth's magnetic field.

The rapid movement of Earth’s magnetic north pole has puzzled scientists in recent years, as it has shifted from its usual position in the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia. This phenomenon, which has ...

Researchers have proposed what's perhaps the most exotic explanation to date for the source of the universe's seed magnetic field: cosmic strings.

Scientists have uncovered a new way tsunamis might be better predicted ahead of time, showing how the magnetic fields they generate can be detected before the massive, devastating waves make it to ...

Without a magnetic field, the Moon’s surface is exposed to solar wind. These could have been depositing resources like water and potential rocket fuel on the Moon’s surface for billions of years.
