Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement.

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

A University of California, Berkeley, geophysicist has made the first-ever measurement of the strength of the magnetic field inside Earth’s core, 1,800 miles underground. The magnetic field strength ...

Per the ESA, this phenomenon can be best explained by strange behaviors far within the Earth at the boundary where the Earth's liquid outer core meets the rocky mantle layer. This boundary, referred ...

Using atoms only a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero, a team of researchers has detected magnetic signals undetectable by any other existing sensor technology. Using atoms only a few ...

Now more than ever, permanent magnets and electromagnets play a critical role in today’s advanced applications. From high-performance electric motors to magnetic nano-machines and high-reliability ...

The strongest magnetic fields on Earth that we can currently produce are courtesy of MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida, at their ...

A combination of standard and new observational techniques has been used to detect the magnetic field of a molecular cloud — a region of the interstellar medium that collapses during star formation.
