Does a planet just have to be in a star’s habitable zone to be habitable, or are other forces at play? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team of ...

Dive into the changing forces of Earth’s magnetic field, understanding how shifts, excursions, and regional anomalies have influenced navigation, wildlife, and human technology throughout history.

Widespread magnetism dating from our solar system’s earliest beginnings some 4.57 billion years ago likely played a major role in creating orbital order out of chaos. But until now, magnetism’s role ...

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

While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet’s liquid iron core, has been bending, stretching, and occasionally flipping for billions of years. That invisible shield determines whether ...

Hot Black Ice may explain strange magnetic field of Neptune. (Image: Canva) Neptune's magnetic field is tilted and offset, unlike Earth's neat poles. Superionic "hot black ice" may explain Neptune's ...

Gas-giant planets orbiting close to other stars have powerful magnetic fields, many times stronger than our own Jupiter, according to a new study by a team of astrophysicists. It is the first time the ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand degrees Celsius, it is also placed under pressures many millions of times ...
