You may have seen headlines or social media posts talking about a weakening of Earth’s magnetic field, specifically over the South Atlantic. It sounds dramatic, and a little scary. Is Earth losing its ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Earth’s magnetic field feels permanent, but science tells a far more fragile story. Long before modern life emerged, the invisible shield protecting the planet from solar radiation weakened to a ...

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool have found two strange anomalies that have affected the Earth's ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

Astronomers detect X-ray pulses from a dying star, revealing a spinning magnetic white dwarf that powers jets in a distant ...
