Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The ...

This video explains what magnets are and how magnetic fields are generated through the alignment of atomic structures.

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and ...

Solar storms also involve one important force that doesn’t really play a role in the weather on Earth: magnetism. The Sun is like a giant magnet. All magnets create what we call magnetic field lines, ...

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

A weak zone in Earth’s magnetic field, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, has expanded at an alarming rate over the past ...

Astronomers have taken their clearest look yet at how some of the biggest stars in our galaxy are born—and it turns out the ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’).

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...
