New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — containing the equivalent magnetic energy of a human brain.

New research suggests that the largest magnetic fields in the universe originated through some exotic mechanism that absolutely soaked the early cosmos.

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to ...

They experimented to see if they could create electricity by using a specially designed hollow magnetic cylinder to capture energy using the Earth's magnetic field.

These rocks offer evidence that Earth had a strong magnetic field 3.7 billion years ago, but scientists aren't sure where that field could've come from.

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

Did you know you can create a magnetic compass with a few household items? Discover how to with ABC11 Science Club with BASF.

Deep in the heart of our galaxy lies one of the most chaotic and mysterious regions in space. Now, scientists have created the first detailed map of magnetic fields in this turbulent zone ...
