How can magnetic fields help determine the habitability of exoplanets? This is what a recent study published in Nature ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

A new study suggests molten rock layers within massive exoplanets create powerful magnetic fields that can protect potential ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

Deep beneath the surface of distant exoplanets known as super-Earths, oceans of molten rock may be doing something ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in the direction of Africa over the past decade. When you purchase through ...

Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they might have to wait until 2030 to get another shot at it. When you purchase ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...
