On the International Space Station, a cube holding a diamond-based sensor revealed the potential for quantum magnetometers.

A coronal mass ejection expected to cause only minor effects instead triggered a G2 geomagnetic storm on May 4, 2026, producing rare auroras and minor infrastructure alerts. The event’s intensity came ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

NASA has chosen to develop a University of Colorado project that could revolutionize the measurement of magnetic fields in space. Researchers at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at CU ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

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 ...

As with any such correlation, one has to entertain the notion that said correlation might be spurious or indirectly related before assuming a strong causal link. Here it is for example known already ...
