The Ediacaran Period of Earth’s past was poorly understood, and the enigmatic fluctuations and magnetism could have been ...

Long before life thrived in Earth’s oceans, the planet’s magnetic field became disorganized. Deep within the ancient rocks of ...

Magnetic deposits laid down during the Ediacaran Period, 630 million years ago to 541 million years ago, are not inexplicable fluctuations, some researchers argue. Instead, there is a pattern encoded ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is a particularly weak region of the magnetic field stretching from South America to western Africa. Wherever the ...

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 weak region in Earth's magnetic field has ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.
