For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a stable magnetic field. Researchers who ran simulations of these atmospheric ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known ...
