The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

Scientists at the University of Tokyo have captured something never seen before: a frame-by-frame view of how electron spins ...

Space is full of radiation. So much radiation, in fact, that the only thing standing between us and our planet being bathed in radioactive energy from the Sun is the Earth's magnetic field. And this ...

Scientists have discovered evidence that Earth’s magnetic poles flipped 42,000 years ago — possibly leading to the Neanderthals’ extinction. According to the work, the flip caused Earth’s magnetic ...

A team led by Ryo Shimano at the University of Tokyo has directly observed how electron spins flip inside an antiferromagnet, a material in which ...

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 phenomenon of ...
