A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe.

The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

We are in the midst of a new era in space exploration, one in which everyone from NASA to Elon Musk's SpaceX have expressed interest in the idea of sending humans to Mars and even establishing ...

See you on the flip side. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A reversal in Earth's magnetic field thousands of years ago plunged the ...

The early Universe hosted ultra-weak magnetic fields that still shaped cosmic structures. New simulations establish stricter limits on their strength. Magnetic fields that originated during the earlie ...

Earth's magnetic poles are constantly on the move, but they haven't drifted far enough to actually flip in the modern age. Researchers know that Earth's poles have flipped in the past, but opinion has ...
