Sometimes the geologic record obscures evidence of these important reversals in field direction, but statistical techniques ...

Researchers have identified a period of sluggish magnetic field flipping for planet Earth, some 40 million years ago – raising big questions about how long these reversals actually take, and how we ...

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world ...

A 0.5-tonne superconducting magnet recently hovered silently inside a 5-meter-wide vacuum chamber, which marked ...

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have identified the true source of a magnetic effect seen in the material ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂), helping resolve an active debate in the ...
