Commonwealth Fusion Systems has crossed two thresholds that fusion watchers have been waiting on for years: a giant superconducting magnet now sits inside its experimental reactor, and a fresh ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a stable magnetic field.

In the late 1800s, the French naturalist Camille Viguier proposed an idea that would be dismissed and forgotten for more than a century. He speculated that birds and other animals could navigate with ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Earth’s magnetosphere protects life from deadly space radiation, but many aspects of its function remain a mystery. Scientists have long believed ...
