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

has demonstrated how Earth's magnetic field may be influencing internal flow, using what they describe as a Little Earth Experiment. In their study published in the journal Physical Review Letters ...

In the Earth (see image below right), the liquid metal that makes up the outer core passes through a magnetic field, which causes an electric current to flow within the liquid metal. The electric ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

The World Magnetic Model predicts shifts in Earth's magnetic field using data from satellites like ESA’s Swarm mission. Milk genes Neanderthals? New study reveals a surprising ancestral twist ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an instability of our planet's magnetic field. The two odd formations – one ...

The best answer at present is that the slow flow of matter in its fluid core generates electric currents, which in turn set up a magnetic field By Walter M. Elsasser Join Our Community of Science ...

The electrojets flow through a region that ... compare EZIE’s observations to those from Earth. “EZIE scientists will be collecting magnetic field data from above, and the students will ...

But never fear — this shape-shifting won’t directly affect life on Earth. Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from solar ...
