Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar ...

A new NASA mission is set to launch that will study the effects of Earth’s magnetic field on us. NASA and SpaceX are set to ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

GPS systems, planes and military equipment track the magnetic field and rely on accurate models of magnetic north to function ...

A study led by University of Iowa Associate Professor David Miles will study how the sun impacts the Earth’s magnetic field ...

Our planet’s gymnastics routine continues underneath our feet nearly every day, but researchers recently mapped what they say is one of the most “drastic events in the evolution of ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 million years ago,” the authors wrote. “Our findings suggest unexpected strong ...

With GPS increasingly vulnerable to tampering, planes need more reliable navigation systems. The magnetic pull in the Earth’s ...

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in its outer core, through what's known as the dynamo theory.

If you thought you were having a bad day, think again – the Earth almost lost its magnetic field 565 million years ago. But it may have been saved by a geo-dynamic phenomenon according to a new ...

It has been suggested that Earth's magnetic field could be about to reverse. At the moment, the field is getting weaker, declining in strength by about 10 percent over the last 200 years.

The Earth's magnetic field, generated some 3,000 kilometers below our feet in the liquid iron core, threads through the whole planet and far into space—protecting life and satellites from ...
