Summary

When NASA's Voyager 2 robotic probe flew by Uranus and Neptune in the 1980s, it uncovered an anomaly: their magnetic fields are highly disordered, unlike Earth's, which has well-defined north and south poles. New research suggests that changes in electrical conductivity deep inside Uranus and Neptune may be key to explaining their unusual magnetic fields and how they could evolve over time.
