Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

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 ...

Moroccan rocks reveal that Earth’s magnetic field once changed fast but followed a hidden order, helping scientists map ...

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...

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 ...

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 ...

New event-horizon-telescope (EHT) images of M87* reveal unexpected flips in polarized light between 2017 and 2021, showing that magnetic fields near the black hole are dynamic and evolving. For the ...
