A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

A blistering coronal mass ejection from the Sun raced to Earth in just 25 hours, triggering a severe G4 geomagnetic storm and ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

This video provides a clear explanation of inductors and their role in electronic circuits. Inductors are passive components that store energy in a magnetic field and resist changes in current. The ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

A new framework for understanding the non-monotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related anomalous Hall effect in highly ...
