Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

As the solar system, the earth is also made of countless wonders. One of them is the feat of variation in its magnetic field. Earth is surrounded by an immense magnetic field, called the ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...

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 ...

The scientists observed their static magnetic field prompted considerable variation in the panel ... The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field ranges between 25,000 and 65,000 nano-Tesla ...

But never fear — this shape-shifting won’t directly affect life on Earth. Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

Rare-earth metals like neodymium have very high magnetic anisotropy ... by a rapid treatment at 700°C and an ice-water quench. A variation on this method is the strained-wire approach, where ...
