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 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown that by using DNA molecules as scaffolds, they were able to create superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use the Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. A research ...

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 ...

Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla. The newly ...

Primordial magnetic fields may help explain why measurements of the universe’s expansion do not agree. Scientists have long known that the universe is expanding, yet there is still no agreement on how ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...
