Recent research investigates the role of primordial magnetic fields in the discrepancy of the Hubble constant values. Measurements of the cosmic microwave background suggest an expansion rate close to ...

Magnetic signatures hidden inside rocks tell us a lot about Earth's magnetic field and the way continents and tectonic plates have shifted across millennia – but for some periods, the geological ...

A new phenomenon discovered in plasma could have a major effect on the turbulence driving volatile and dangerous space ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

University of Nottingham researchers found that shielding fruit flies from Earth's magnetic field altered mitochondrial ...

A new study suggests Ganymede—our neighborhood's biggest moon—still has a hot, churning core cranking out its unique magnetic field. Reading time 3 minutes Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

Strong magnetic fields could help some stellar remnants become much heavier than their usual upper limit, according to new ...

What can an exoplanet’s magnetic field teach astronomers about an exoplanet’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
