All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

The ESA's Solar Orbiter has discovered that solar flares act like avalanches, growing from weak disturbances into powerful ...

Magnetic signatures hidden inside rocks tell us a lot about Earth's magnetic field and the way continents and tectonic plates have shifted across millennia – but for some periods, the geological ...

A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

A blistering coronal mass ejection from the Sun raced to Earth in just 25 hours, triggering a severe G4 geomagnetic storm and ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks ...

This video provides a clear explanation of inductors and their role in electronic circuits. Inductors are passive components that store energy in a magnetic field and resist changes in current. The ...

Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...
