Learn how titanium-rich lunar rocks and Apollo landing sites reshaped researchers’ understanding of the Moon’s early magnetic history.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

After a decade of silence, one of the most powerful magnets in the universe suddenly burst back to life in late 2018. The reawakening of this “magnetar”, a city-sized star named XTE J1810-197 born ...

Niron Magnetics aims to use cheap, widely available materials to make magnets for EVs and wind turbines. The motor in your vacuum cleaner and the one in your electric vehicle likely have at least one ...

Join the Mythbusters for fun with supermagnets. It casts enough magnetic force to slow a locomotive from a quarter-million miles away--the distance of the Earth from the moon. The "magnetar," or ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...
