As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

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 ...

The sun's magnetic field last flipped toward the end of 2013. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the phenomenon of the sun ...

As fields are vectors the field lines add up and point in the same direction/loop.) If the magnet is in motion. (e.g Permanent magnets that are in motion; this motion can cause a change in the ...

The anti-magnetic watch has its roots in aviation and engineering but it makes sense in modern everyday life, too. And now ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

For example, an electric field is easily shielded by an object, such as a tree or a house, while a magnetic field is not. The presence of an electric field may cause a shock when touching a metal ...

then in a more recent twist rapidly slowed — though scientists can’t explain the underlying cause behind the magnetic field’s unusual behavior. Global positioning systems, including those ...
