This video explains how magnets work and how magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electric charges. Magnetic materials influence and interact with current, motion, and force, making them ...

Quantum materials, materials exhibiting physical behavior governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved promising ...

A surprising reversal in molten iron flow beneath the Pacific is giving scientists a sharper view of how Earth’s magnetic ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...

What can an exoplanet’s magnetic field teach astronomers about an exoplanet’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of ...

Planets beyond our solar system can have magnetic fields similar to those closer to home, astronomers said Tuesday after observing extreme winds on scorching worlds known as "hot Jupiters." ...

A new study suggests Ganymede—our neighborhood's biggest moon—still has a hot, churning core cranking out its unique magnetic field. Reading time 3 minutes Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar ...

Astronomers have mapped themagnetic field inside DR21, one of the most active star-forming regions near the Sun, and found that it plays a direct role in feeding gas into the cloud’s dense core. The ...

An exoplanet is exerting a magnetic influence on its host star in the opposite direction of the normal relationship.

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...
