New radio observations of the Milky Way are exposing hidden patterns in its magnetic field. People have scanned the night sky for ages, but some of the Milky Way’s most important features cannot be ...

The 35.6-tesla magnet dwarfs hospital MRI machines and opens new frontiers in materials science and life sciences research.

Hidden mega-structures deep inside Earth may have been quietly steering our planet’s magnetic field—and rewriting what we ...

Polarized light observations from ALMA reveal the magnetic structures and galactic outflows in Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, providing detailed field maps.

Exploring Earth's deep interior is a far bigger challenge than exploring the solar system. While we have traveled 25 billion km into space, the deepest we have ever gone below our feet is just over 12 ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth is quietly sending out a slow magnetic heartbeat. Every seven ...

Scientists are mapping the Milky Way galaxy’s invisible magnetic field, revealing how it holds the galaxy together and ...

Most of the time, the shape of Earth’s magnetic field is quite similar to that which would be produced by a bar magnet ...

Every few years, the sun seems to change its mood. Dark spots appear and ...

BepiColombo is slowly uncovering more and more fun facts about Mercury as it continues its preliminary mission. One of the ...

Chang’e 5 lunar samples analyzed with quantum sensors clarify how ancient lunar dynamo activity and asteroid impacts jointly produced the Moon’s remnant magnetism.

Research led by the University of Liverpool has identified magnetic evidence that two immense, ultra-hot rock structures located at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 2,900 kilometres beneath Africa ...
