However, intriguingly—this invisible force is not the same or uniform across the globe, and studies have unraveled a strange, ...

S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

The development proves one of the leading theories behind animals’ incredible ability to tap into Earth’s magnetic field as a source of locational information. Until now, this sixth sense ...

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...

This stream is called the solar wind. When it gets here, it comes in contact with the Earth’s magnetic field. That’s basically a force field that surrounds the planet. Any object with a magnet ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the ...

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more than 3.5 billion years ago, making it the ...

(This is literally a stream of electrons.) This will create a magnetic field, and other wires with electric current will experience a magnetic force. Imagine you have two parallel wires carrying ...

As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind align, creating an increased chance of seeing the colorful auroras in the ...
