A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Images taken of the Universe's most photogenic black hole over time reveal strange and exciting changes in its magnetic field.

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Earth's invisible magnetic field acts as a vital shield, protecting life from dangerous cosmic radiation and solar particles.

NASA has warned that more solar storms could soon hit Earth, and a new study has found that it could have dire consequences ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

Some cosmic events could have profoundly altered the lives of our ancient human relatives. Did Neanderthals go extinct, at least in part, due to changes in Earth’s magnetic field? Did Australopithecus ...

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

Researchers at Rice University created a soft but sturdy material that can transform in the blink of an eye when exposed to a basic handheld magnet—and then stabilize with no batteries or electricity.
