Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

Moroccan rocks reveal that Earth’s magnetic field once changed fast but followed a hidden order, helping scientists map ...

The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

For more than half a billion years, a giant magnetic anomaly buried in Earth’s ancient rocks has puzzled scientists. The strange data once appeared to defy the rules of geomagnetism, hinting that our ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

Forty-two thousand years ago, Earth’s magnetic field collapsed - the sky turned electric, radiation burned the surface, and humanity was forced underground. Scientists call it the Adams Event, a ...

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 ...

A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth's magnetic field over the South ...

A major dip in the Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic has been puzzling scientists for over a century. An international team of researchers analyzed data collected by the European Space ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
