A microscopic magnetite fossil (left) discovered in sediment below the North Atlantic, seen using X-ray microscopy; the fossil?s magnetic configuration, with magnetic moments swirling around a central ...

Magnetic fields thread through galaxies, stretch across cosmic voids, and shape the behavior of charged particles over millions of light-years. Yet their origin remains one of the most stubborn ...

The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...

Ancient bricks inscribed with the names of Mesopotamian kings have yielded important insights into a mysterious anomaly in Earth's magnetic field 3,000 years ago, according to a new study. Ancient ...

Researchers deploy an array of microscopic coils to create a magnetic field and stimulate individual neurons. The magnetic field can induce an electric field in any nearby neurons, the same effect ...
