Scientists from 19 international institutions release a complementary magnetic model called the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), which is also updated every five years.

The International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF-13) model simulations revealed that the stronger magnetic field in Siberia prevents charged particles from penetrating deeper into the atmosphere.

But wait – isn’t that a geomagnetic field? Well, yes – but if someone’s told you that makes it a different kind of thing from the electromagnetic field coming out of your cellphone ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

(NASA) When a co-rotating interaction region or coronal mass ejection sweeps past Earth, their impact distorts and disturbs the planet's geomagnetic field. This can cause electrical or ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...
