A tree-ringed African lake has yielded a record of Earth's magnetic field spanning the past 150,000 years. A core of rock and ...

Earth's magnetic field was so weak it almost disappeared. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, complex life emerged.

potentially influencing human evolution at a pivotal moment in our history. During the Laschamps excursion, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, while the ...

Understanding Jupiter's early evolution helps illuminate the broader story of how our solar system developed its distinct ...

A storm as ferocious as the one of 12,350 BC would likely cause complete mayhem if it were to strike Earth and its ...

If you ever travel back in time to hang out with Homo sapiens around 41,000 years ago, pack some sunscreen – or better yet, a ...

The Earth’s magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nano particles and materials. Scientists at Flinders ...

This exciting discovery opens up new possibilities for auroral research and confirms that auroras could be visible to future ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

"We need a way to date these sediments." That's where the variations in Earth's magnetic field come in. When rocks form, they lock in a record of the magnetic field via small magnetic crystals ...
