The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

NASA is closely monitoring the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a growing dent in the Earth's magnetic field that allows charged solar particles to approach the surface. A huge 'dent' anomaly in the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

In-plane magnetic fields cause a large anomalous Hall effect in EuCd₂Sb₂ films, revealing new ways to control electronic transport and enhance magnetic sensing technologies. In-plane magnetic fields ...

A solution proposed by a team of scientists at the North Carolina State University is a metamaterial that can change shape in response to magnetic fields. This material had to be easily deformable ...

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...

Scientists have discovered that the 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing, allowing harmful radiation to come closer to our planet's surface. The region, known as the South Atlantic ...

As well as a few temporary reversals, the Earth's magnetic field – just like the Sun – can flip over long timescales. During the Brunhes–Matuyama reversal, the magnetic north could have been ...

Right on time for the surge of holiday travel, a new iteration of the World Magnetic Model (WMM) has just been released, forecasting the future of Earth’s magnetic field. The updated model shows the ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly is a giant region where Earth's magnetic field is significantly weaker than usual. Although it doesn't impact life on Earth, the anomaly poses a particular risk to ...

Electric and magnetic fields are important factors to be considered when designing transmission lines. They occur in nature and have become much more prevalent in our everyday lives through man-made ...
