Earth’s Magnetic Heartbeat Reverses: Scientists Uncover a Surprising Twist
New Findings Shake Long-Standing Beliefs About Earth’s Magnetic Field Scientists studying Earth’s magnetic field have reported a surprising twist: the electric heartbeat that powers our planet’s magnetosphere appears to flow in the opposite direction from what long-standing models predicted. This discovery challenges traditional ideas about how the geodynamo—the natural convection currents in the molten iron…

Electric Heartbeat Reverses Course: A Surprising Twist in Earth’s Magnetic Field
New Findings Upend Long-Standing Assumptions For decades, scientists have described Earth’s magnetic field as a dynamic shield generated by the liquid iron in our planet’s outer core. A recent study, however, suggests that the field’s electric heartbeat—the flow of magnetic energy within the core—travels in the opposite direction to what traditional models predicted. This reversal…

Scientists find a surprising twist in Earth’s magnetic field
New findings overturn long-held assumptions about the geodynamo In a striking turn for geophysics, researchers have observed that Earth’s magnetic field is powered by an electric heartbeat that appears to flow in the opposite direction from what traditional models have long predicted. The discovery, based on a combination of satellite data, ocean floor measurements, and…
