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

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

Could the expected solar flares bring a greater chance of seeing the northern lights? Sophia Herod takes a look.

Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic locations, effectively creating their own internal GPS system that helps them ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

Geomagnetic storms also cause problems on Earth. The electric currents they create can overload power plants and cause ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.
