A new study finds the magnetic field generated by a tsunami can be detected a few minutes earlier than changes in sea level and could improve warnings of these giant waves. Tsunamis generate magnetic ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

We know magnetism as a fundamental force of nature that plays a crucial role in both the natural world and modern technology. It governs the behavior of materials at the atomic level and is essential ...

(Nanowerk News) Atoms in magnetic materials are organized into regions called magnetic domains. Within each domain, the electrons have the same magnetic orientation. This means their spins point in ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

Earth's magnetic field is weakening and its north pole is shifting faster than previously observed, raising concerns about a potential geomagnetic reversal. Geomagnetic reversals, where the magnetic ...

Physicists have uncovered a new mechanism for enabling magnetism and superconductivity to co-exist in the same material. Physicists at the University of Bath in the UK, in collaboration with ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Our planet is doomed. In a few billion years, the sun will exhaust its hydrogen fuel and swell into a red giant—a star so big it will ...
