Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental ...

ESA’s Swarm mission reveals the South Atlantic Anomaly has expanded by half the size of Europe since 2014, exposing ...

New experiments and calculations could improve aerosol and microfluidic technologies while shedding more light on airborne ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in ...

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have ...

HEFEI -- Chinese scientists announced on Sunday that they have successfully generated a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss with a fully superconducting magnet, setting a new world record. The ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

The magnetic field swirling around an enormous black hole, located about 55 million light-years from Earth, has unexpectedly switched directions. This dramatic reversal challenges theories of black ...

One of the first black holes ever imaged is even stranger than we thought, new images of its dramatically changing environment reveal. The object, known as M87*, has experienced unexpected changes in ...

In physics, we have a bunch of constants that are used in models to explain how the world works. These are fixed numbers that we plug into equations along with our variables. For example, the ...

Physicists have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped scientists for decades. (Nanowerk ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...
