The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years.

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites monitoring our world.

Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the interest of scientists around the world. Understanding the causes and ...

Long before life thrived in Earth’s oceans, the planet’s magnetic field became disorganized. Deep within the ancient rocks of Morocco, scientists have recovered one of the clearest records of that ...

This expanding anomaly exposes satellites passing over the region to heightened cosmic radiation and charged solar particles, ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Moroccan rocks reveal that Earth’s magnetic field once changed fast but followed a hidden order, helping scientists map ...

All the activity on Earth’s surface — erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, restless seas and myriad forms of life — depends on the two-part engine under the hood. Directly beneath Earth’s ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Cartoon of the Earth with cutaway showing the mantle and inner and outer core. Magnetic field lines produced by the geodynamo extend into space and interact with the solar wind. The iron-rich core at ...
