Simulations suggest that two enormous masses of hot rock have been involved in generating Earth’s magnetic field and giving ...

Learn how some of Earth’s magnetic field flips last longer than others, weakening our defenses against cosmic radiation.

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

Ancient rocks show Earth’s magnetic field followed deep heat patterns inside the planet for hundreds of millions of years.

Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient sediments hint that Earth’s magnetic field sometimes changed far more slowly than expected.

Earth’s magnetic field can linger in a weakened, unstable state for tens of thousands of years before fully flipping.

The curious minds at What If imagine Earth with Jupiter’s massive magnetic field, exploring how such immense magnetism would affect technology, weather, and life itself.

Scientists in a rare discovery have found “smiling electrons” inside Earth’s protective magnetic field. According to a new ...

Geologists have mapped a strange magnetic anomaly in Australia – and in a stunning coincidence, it happens to look remarkably ...

Earth's magnetic poles flip in a process called a geomagnetic reversal. The planet's magnetic field is generated by chaotic flows of molten metal deep inside Earth's core.

In a new study, researchers from the ARIES and their collaborators used computational models that simulate the behaviour of ...

Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen appear to have moved in sync for half a billion years, pointing to a surprising connection between the planet’s deep interior and life-supporting ...
