Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that ...

Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new ...

But robotic and crewed explorations have determined that the field is non-existent today. Planetary magnetic fields are created by what is known as a dynamo effect, where a magnetic field is ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, scientists reveal new details about its unpredictable journey and why it has ...

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

The Martian dichotomy came to light in the 1970s following the Viking Probe's transmission of remarkably detailed Martian ...

Additionally, the role of slow magnetostrophic waves has been explored in relation to the formation of the axial dipole, a dominant feature of planetary magnetic fields. These waves, which arise ...

Some of the problems in which I’m interested are the generation of planetary magnetic fields via the inductive action of turbulent motions, and the physics of fluid motion in planetary atmospheres.

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the ...
