Astronomers have mapped themagnetic field inside DR21, one of the most active star-forming regions near the Sun, and found ...

In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a crucial new tool in the search ...

The winds on seven hellish alien worlds are moving in the wrong direction. That strange anomaly just cracked open one of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like this.

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of years. Using ancient magnetic records and advanced simulations, scientists ...

Researchers have made significant strides in understanding exoplanets by studying the winds on seven distant "hot Jupiters." ...

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) goes beyond conventional MRI, which aims primarily at local image contrast. It provides specific physical parameters related to the nuclear spin of ...

Surrounding Earth is a powerful magnetic field created by swirling liquid iron in the planet’s core. Earth’s magnetic field may be nearly as old as the Earth itself – and stands in stark contrast to ...

A team from Germany and the Czech Republic found that dogs prefer to defecate with their bodies aligned along the Earth's ...

Astronomers studying the atmospheres of several intensely heated exoplanets uncovered an unexpected pattern that may reveal a ...
