If you are using your smartphone to navigate, your system just got a crucial update. Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems ...

Far above the South Atlantic, Earth’s magnetic shield is thinning into a vast, lopsided bruise that now sprawls across an ...

Lunar rocks are famously dry. They contain almost none of the volatile elements that easily escape into space, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and light noble gases. Yet those same elements appear ...

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been carried into space by solar wind and landing on the moon for billions of years, mixing into the lunar soil, according to a new study.

In the blink of an eye in geological time, Canada has lost one north pole but gained another, a new and different claim to be the true north ...

New work from Carnegie’s Peter Driscoll suggests Earth’s ancient magnetic field was significantly different than the present day field, originating from several poles rather than the familiar two. It ...

Earth’s magnetic field is one of its most vital features — a powerful shield that deflects harmful solar and cosmic radiation, protects the atmosphere, and makes life possible. But evidence from rocks ...
