The oldest magnetic record in our solar system identified using nanometric imaging and numerical modeling
Magnetic fields are thought to have been influential in the formation of our solar system. Here, the authors observe thermomagnetically stable, non-uniformly magnetized kamacite grains within chondritic meteorites, and calculate the grains to retain recordings of these magnetic fields.
