The Earth's magnetic field has been getting weaker over the past few centuries. This weakening can be seen in data gathered ...

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an eerie, auditory experience. Now a team containing some of those same ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years. This has sparked many questions and concerns about the implications of such ...

Earth spins, shifts, and now… flips? Our planet’s gymnastics routine continues underneath our feet nearly every day, but researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Germany recently mapped ...

Generated by a vast subterranean sea of molten iron acting like a dynamo in the Earth's outer core, the magnetic field that surrounds the planet protects its surface and everything on it from solar ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years. A weak region in Earth's magnetic field has ...

Space hurricanes can shake Earth's magnetic field and scramble satellites without a solar storm in sight. Hurricane season has a new contender, and it's swirling above the poles. Behold, the space ...

When Siberian volcanoes kicked off the Great Dying, the real climate villain turned out to be the rainforests themselves: once they collapsed, Earth’s biggest carbon sponge vanished, CO₂ rocketed, and ...

The collapse of tropical forests during Earth’s most catastrophic extinction event was the primary cause of the prolonged global warming which followed, according to new research. The Permian–Triassic ...
