Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

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

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

Dramatic theories have been proposed to explain the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants of our solar ...

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

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

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 ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our understanding of its history and evolution within the Solar System.
