A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Understanding the Mystique of Magnetic Pole Shifts Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that can penetrate spacecraft shielding and destroy important systems.

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

The Earth’s magnetic field is predominantly a geo-axial dipole, with north and south magnetic poles located near the geographic poles that undergo periodic reversals and excursions.

During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, "the sun's ...
