Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

They identify stellar hot spots that are the manifestation of magnetic field interactions between the star and the planet. The planet, whose size doesn't matter as much in this scenario, must be close ...

The magnetic north pole, distinct from the geographic North Pole, is the point where Earth’s magnetic field lines converge. NASA via Rawpixel For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

Twentieth-century explorations answered many questions about our satellite and its place in the solar system. But they also raised many new and challenging questions that still remain unanswered. One ...
