What happened when Earth’s magnetic shield collapsed 41,000 years ago? A new study suggests that this dramatic event, known as the Laschamps Excursion, may have pushed early humans to adapt in ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the ...

If you ever travel back in time to hang out with Homo sapiens around 41,000 years ago, pack some sunscreen – or better yet, a tailored outfit, and seek out a cave shelter. New research from the ...

In-plane magnetic fields are responsible for inducing anomalous Hall effect in certain films, report researchers. By studying how these fields change electronic structures, the team discovered a large ...

Solar winds consist of charged particles emitted by the sun. Earth's magnetic field – generated by churning, molten iron in the planet's core – prevents most of these particles from interacting with ...
