A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a known region of Earth’s magnetic field weakness, has been under the observation of the European Space Agency’s Swarm mission for over a decade. New findings reveal ...

Magnetic Ride Control (MRC or MagneRide) is a General Motors chassis and suspension technology that adapts and adjusts the shock absorbers of a vehicle in real-time in response to changes in terrain ...

Scientists have discovered that a 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing at an alarming rate. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), the region has expanded by an area nearly twice the ...
