Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been studied ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Far above the South Atlantic, Earth’s magnetic shield is thinning into a vast, lopsided bruise that now sprawls across an ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...
