Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...

Owning a car means taking on the responsibility of maintaining it. But did you know you don't always have to rely on expensive mechanics for basic repairs? Having a good Workshop Manual can save you ...

NASA is closely monitoring the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a growing dent in the Earth's magnetic field that allows charged solar particles to approach the surface. A huge 'dent' anomaly in the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

A solution proposed by a team of scientists at the North Carolina State University is a metamaterial that can change shape in response to magnetic fields. This material had to be easily deformable ...

Earth's magnetic field is always in flux due to forces within the fluid outer core (underneath the rocky mantle), where the swirling of molten iron creates massive electrical currents. These currents, ...

The rapid movement of the magnetic north pole has caused problems for scientists and navigators. Computer models of the pole's location have become outdated, making accurate compass-based ...
