From time to time, the Earth's magnetic poles flip, leaving us without a protective magnetic field for up to centuries ...

There are currently several superconducting materials used for design and fabrication of high-field magnets. 1 The most widely established of them—low-temperature superconductor NbTi—is the workhorse ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. The Earth's magnetic north pole is racing towards Siberia—and it is following an "unusual" and historically unprecedented ...

NOAA scientists have spent decades tracking how magnetic north wanders, but recent modeling shows a pole moving in ways earlier maps did not suggest. Instead of drifting slowly around the Canadian ...

Every new generation of eyes sees a new version of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This Impressionistic swirl of color represents the churning magnetic fields in giant dust clouds near the center of the ...

From Earth, we only ever see half of the sun. The other half—the far side—is always hidden from view. But what happens there still matters. Powerful activity forming on the far side can rotate toward ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have been asked to conduct a study on high-magnetic-field science and technology. The primary goal of the Committee on the Current Status ...
