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 ...

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 ...

A weak spot in Earth’s protective magnetic field is growing larger and exposing orbiting satellites and astronauts to more ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

A molecule found in the retinas of European robins seems to be able to sense weak magnetic fields, such as that of Earth, after it is exposed to light. Christopher Intagliata: This is Scientific ...

A flip-flop of Earth’s magnetic poles between 42,000 and 41,000 years ago briefly but dramatically shrank the magnetic field’s strength — and may have triggered a cascade of environmental crises on ...
