In a controversial experiment, physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity.

A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

Barnard's Star is a small, dim star of the type that astronomers call red dwarfs. Consequently, even though it is one of the ...

Earth's magnetic field is heavily distorted at this distance, with no clear dipolar effect. This is what makes the detection so intriguing. The waves detected at this extreme distance share ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

Engineers at JPL reduced the size of the radio detectors so they could ... EZIE's observations to those from Earth. "EZIE scientists will be collecting magnetic field data from above, and the ...

As this material is often conductive, it will likely affect the Earth’s magnetic field, as argued by [Sierra Solter-Hunt] in a pre-publication article. Although the speculation by [Sierra] can ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

Chorus waves are electromagnetic oscillations traveling along the Earth's magnetic field lines. When converted into sound, ...

New research sheds light on the Earth's "innermost inner core," offering new insight into the formation of the planet and its magnetic field. From our morning news briefing to a weekly Good News ...
