Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a protective shield, deflecting dangerous solar radiation and helping make life possible on ...

Scientists studying lunar samples have finally resolved a decades-long debate about the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts more than half a century ago are providing a fresh take on the moon's mysterious ...

A newly developed model defines the upper limit to the strength of planetary magnetic fields. The model can help better ...

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...

Their study challenges the longtime belief that the moon's magnetic field remained strong for long stretches of time.

Indian astronomers have investigated an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar in the galaxy NGC 4631, designated X-8. The new study, described in a paper published Feb. 16 on the arXiv preprint server, provides ...
