Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

Thanks to new calculations by a Dartmouth geochemist, scientists are now looking at the earth’s climate history in a new light. Mukul Sharma, Assistant Professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth, ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...
