The mystery of Mars' magnetic field has puzzled scientists for decades. A new study proposes a surprising explanation for its current asymmetry. Researchers at the University of Texas simulated a ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

What does the next generation of martian exploration look like? The answer, quite literally, is blowing in the wind. The Tumbleweed Mars rover, a spherical robot designed to roll across the martian ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
