A magnetic field could help retain the atmosphere for terraforming Mars Researchers explored various means of creating an artificial magnetic field According to scientists, it's time to think ...

Researchers have proposed an alternative way to generate super-strong magnetic fields that would solve the hindrances keeping us from harnessing the Faraday effect to its full use. More research ...

Exposure to a tweaked magnetic field scrambled desert ants’ efforts to learn where home is — and affected neuron connections in a key part of the brain.

This was the first observation of a wide-ranging phenomenon. The charged clouds of particles which float through the cosmos generate vast interstellar magnetic fields as they go.

The new work describes how galaxy-scale magnetic fields, based on their orientation and strength, can both funnel material from one area to another and prevent the dust and gas that make up the ...

Unexpected Metal Flow Challenges Theories Of How Earth's Magnetic Field Forms A bold experiment shows a dramatic improvement in our understanding of the planet beneath our feet.

Unlike the Earth, Mars does not have a strong, global magnetic field. This field helps to protect our planet from cosmic rays and retain its atmosphere.

Warth's magnetic field provides a barrier to the solar wind, called the magnetosphere, but ions still get stripped away through a circuitous route.

The first-ever magnetic fields in the universe arose within 370,000 years of the big bang, a new analysis suggests. The work relies on standard physics, unlike some previous theories, and may shed ...

New research suggests that the largest magnetic fields in the universe originated through some exotic mechanism that absolutely soaked the early cosmos.

They experimented to see if they could create electricity by using a specially designed hollow magnetic cylinder to capture energy using the Earth's magnetic field.
