The Valentine's Day northern lights will largely be visible in Canada and Alaska, but a few northern-most states may see the ...

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

Geomagnetic storms also cause problems on Earth. The electric currents they create can overload power plants and cause ...

And in theory, there should be chorus waves in the magnetic field of every planet that has one, even if it’s a little messy ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has uncovered an immense volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io, surpassing any previously recorded ...

For the first time astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

The team behind this research reached that conclusion when they detected a helix-shaped magnetic field within a protostellar jet designated HH 80-81. HH 80-81 is the fastest protostellar jet ever seen ...
