A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth's magnetic fields, which ...

It's well established that the universe is expanding, but there's serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it's happening.

The Sun’s magnetic poles are in the middle of an uneven, drawn-out reversal as Solar Cycle 25 moves through its solar maximum phase. NASA and NOAA jointly announced that the current cycle has entered ...

A UBC Okanagan-led research project has given a group of international scientists their clearest view yet of the Milky Way's magnetic field, revealing that it is far more complex than previously ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...
