The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was discussing in the year 1820 about the possibility of electricity and magnetism being associated to one another, and in the process presenting it finally ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

The concept of magnetic field lines and magnetic fields was first studied and observed by Michael Faraday and by James Clerk Maxwell, who made great discoveries in the field of electromagnetism.

A newly discovered mechanism known as microtube implosion could make it possible to generate magnetic fields 1000 times stronger than any yet seen in the laboratory. According to the researchers who ...
