A strange phenomenon native to the Sun’s environment was spotted in the Earth’s magnetosphere, likely evidence of reactions ...

A vast, magnetically tangled sunspot has rotated into direct view of Earth, raising the prospect of powerful solar eruptions ...

A radio signal has been detected, pointing to the possible existence of a magnetic field on YZ Ceti b, an exoplanet 12 ...

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

Plasma emerging from the solar surface along magnetic field lines The Sun’s extended magnetic field provides a vital shield for astronauts; without it they would be left exposed to potentially deadly ...

The new system will not only be a valuable tool for studying patterning processes but also has a wide range of potential technological applications. Photographs and micrographs showing the various ...

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 ...

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

Researchers taught young loggerhead turtles to associate certain magnetic fields with feeding, prompting a distinctive dance when they recognized the signal. After a magnetic pulse briefly disrupted ...

Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale – 1000 times smaller than a human ...
