An international team, led by Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) researcher Ângela Santos, has made the first ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

This explorer spacecraft is heading to a rare asteroid with a naked metal core. It could hold clues to how Earth began ...

When a sodium-filled model of the Earth’s outer core spins at full speed, it could generate a dynamo. Courtesy Daniel P. Lathrop In a large, warehouse-like laboratory on the University of ...

Mercury doesn't give up its secrets easily. The smallest planet in our solar system is also one of the most extreme—a ...

Earth’s magnetic field strength and atmospheric oxygen levels have oscillated in tandem for around 540 million years, according to a NASA-led study, pointing to a deep-Earth process that could knit ...

The Solar Orbiter is the first spacecraft to study the Sun's poles - and finds the magnetic field in a state of flip ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the complex interplay of convective flows in its liquid outer core, a process commonly referred to as the geodynamo. The dynamics of this magnetic field ...
