They have missing "dipole magnetic fields." Here's why that's really weird. When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made its way to outer regions of the solar system in the late 80's, it noticed ...

Uranus and Neptune have long been a source of fascination and mystery for scientists, especially when it comes to their ...

Beneath the serene, bluish atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune lies an intricate story of planetary interiors. These enigmatic ...

New research claims that Neptune and Uranus may hold hidden oceans of water and other materials below their extreme ...

What lies beneath the thick, bluish atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune? For decades, scientists have speculated about the ...

According to Militzer, Earth, which has a neat, bar-magnet-like magnetic field generated by its molten iron core, Uranus and ...

The geomagnetic pole is the location which best fits a classic dipole (its position alters little). And then there is the North Magnetic, or dip, Pole, which is where field lines are perpendicular ...

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al. 1988).

If the interior is electrically conducting, a thick layer of convecting material will generate a dipole magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet. Earth's dipole field, created by its liquid ...
