Old Apollo rocks are providing a fresh take on the moon's magnetic field. The lunar magnetic field is currently weak or even nonexistent, but cranked up to superstrength for short snippets of time ...

The lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts suggested the moon had a strong magnetic field. A new analysis shows the opposite.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), the University of Michigan, and Cornell University have ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Earth-like planets have a thin crust, a large mantle (which contains a lot of molten magma), and a core. Inside these ...

In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

A couple of years ago, self-described “professional mad scientist” and undisputed YouTube legend Drake “Styropyro” Anthony uploaded a video featuring various experiments performed with the crazy ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world ...

Exploring power output in a magnetic loop using Faraday’s law and understanding how changing magnetic fields generate electrical energy. Learn the fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction, ...

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory welcomed nearly 8,000 visitors to explore cutting-edge scientific equipment usually reserved for researchers.

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...
