Learn how to calculate and understand the force on a wire loop entering a magnetic field in this detailed physics tutorial! We break down the concepts of magnetic flux, Lorentz force, and induced ...

You can understand why The Magnetic Fields’ “The Book Of Love” would make sense to some as a song to which a couple might walk down the aisle. It features an absolutely lovely melody. And it talks ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000 ...

Levon Pogosian receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. The work described in this article was enabled in part by support provided by the BC DRI Group and ...

A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field. A team of geologists has found for the first time evidence ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature. Every so often, the magnetic north and south poles swap places in what are ...

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of years. Using ancient magnetic records and advanced simulations, scientists ...

For all we’ve learned about places far away in outer space, we may have barely scratched the surface of the places lying deep within Earth. As a result, there’s a lot of information we seem to be ...

Andrew Biggin receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council. While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our ...

It may be possible to keep space exploration missions running longer and avoid spacecraft colliding with each other using a technique that harnesses magnetic fields to move satellites. Currently, most ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...
