Now, scientists from the University of Oxford offer a resolution to the debate, reporting the moon could have experienced bursts of extremely strong magnetism long ago, but that these episodes would ...

Reconnection, the merging of magnetic field lines of opposite polarity near the surface of the sun, Earth and some black holes, is believed to be the root cause of many spectacular astronomical events ...

Learn how titanium-rich lunar rocks and Apollo landing sites reshaped researchers’ understanding of the Moon’s early magnetic history.

A new study develops a theory of how magnetic switchbacks are formed around the sun. This quantitative model can be used to predict magnetic field variations and potentially explain the heating and ...

So say Oxford boffins who found 'bias' related to Apollo rock samples created false impression Scientists at the University ...

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

Nicholas Sparks, a professor of practice in the Tulane School of Science and Engineering, has discovered a theoretical mass ...

More than 60 years ago, a woman with no advanced training in mathematics created a theory about planetary magnetic fields. Her name? Donna Elbert. Her job? A human “computer” working for famed ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...
