For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Prof. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel "precessing magnetic jet engine" model to explain the peculiar gamma-ray burst ...

Chinese scientists discovered that the moon's magnetic field lasted much longer than expected, persisting into its midlife. By studying tiny rocks brought back by the Chang’e-5 mission, they found the ...

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 ...

The waves propagate deep within the planet. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new type of slowly traveling magnetic wave ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...
