A trio of physicists, two with Coventry University, in the U.K., and the third with Laboratoire National des Champs ...

The magnetic field that cocoons Earth, shielding us from the sun’s most dangerous rays, has not always been so stable. About 41,000 years ago, that protective field weakened to a mere flicker of ...

Between 635 to 541 million years ago, during the Ediacaran Period, Earth witnessed a remarkable emergence of early life.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is why we are here today. It protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and many other ...

Scientists in China claimed that the magnetic shield over North America is weakening rapidly. The geomagnetic field, a kind ...

A magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding a planet where the planet's magnetic field dominates, creating a protective ...

Is there something strange and alien confined deep inside the Earth? Is it trying to break free and escape into the heavens?

The Earth's poles flipped 41,000 years ago in an unusual event saw the magnetic field weaken, allowing cosmic rays to batter the atmosphere. And humans have now heard the terrifying sounds of the ...

A planetary magnetic field is produced by a geodynamo effect deep inside a planet. A planet like Earth has an iron-nickel ...

Combining the satellite data with evidence of magnetic field line movements on Earth, European geoscientists mapped the so-called Laschamps event and represented it using natural noises like the ...

But these models typically neglect an important contribution: how Earth’s magnetic field influences the very flows that generate it.
