NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

A strange phenomenon thought to only exist near the Sun has been detected in Earth's magnetic field for the first time. The ...

A recent sudy has found that prolonged exposure to magnetic fields is linked to childhood leukemia. Examples of sources of magnetic electromagnetic fields include high voltage power lines, electric ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, but new data shows otherwise.

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

Though you might think that compasses will always point towards the geographic north pole, the magnetic and geographic poles ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...

Composite of extreme ultraviolet observation (left) and magnetic field (right). The magnetic field lines are obtained from the simulation and show agreement with the outlined structures in EUV (from ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Scientists in China have set a new world record for the strongest steady magnetic field ever generated on Earth. The hybrid magnet managed to produce a field measuring 45.22 Tesla (T), which is over a ...

We conducted a case-control study to test the hypothesis that exposure to magnetic fields of the type generated by high-voltage power lines increases the incidence of leukemia and central nervous ...
