NIMS has succeeded in simulating the magnetization reversal of Nd-Fe-B magnets using large-scale finite element models constructed based on tomographic data obtained by electron microscopy. Such ...

An animation using data from the European Space Agency (ESA) allows you to "listen" to Earth's magnetic field being disrupted during the Brunhes-Matuyama Reversal 780,000 years in the past. Though you ...

Several studies have predicted that not all geomagnetic reversals have been discovered, but it was unknown in which periods they might be hidden. Researchers led by the National Institute of Polar ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

Schematic of the Earth’s magnetic field (upper left), history of geomagnetic reversals inferred from the remanent magnetization of ocean-floor rocks (lower left; compiled from data in Ogg, Geologic ...

Astronomers have uncovered a strange magnetic “flip” hidden inside the Milky Way. Using a new radio telescope, researchers mapped the galaxy’s magnetic field in unprecedented detail and discovered ...

One of the most intriguing attributes of Earth’s magnetic field is that it reverses polarity. Previous palaeomagnetic records mainly from the last ~17 million years indicate that the reversal process ...

The magnetic north pole, distinct from the geographic North Pole, is the point where Earth’s magnetic field lines converge. NASA via Rawpixel For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly ...
