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 ...

Scientists explain why there’s no merit to recent claims blaming Earth’s magnetic poles for global warming—and what those geomagnetic shifts really mean. A visualization of the magnetic lines of force ...

High magnetic fields are a vital tool in many areas of science and technology that impact our everyday lives, from medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to drug discovery ...
