A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

The study focused on two black holes — our galaxy's Sgr A* and M87*, located 55 million light-years away. Both were previously imaged by the global EHT project.

By carefully steering atomic nuclear spins, researchers found a way to store and retrieve quantum information without ...

When set spinning, the setup mimics the roiling liquid iron in the Earth’s outer core, which forms electrical currents that generate the magnetic field in a process called a dynamo.

The South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA), a region of weakened magnetic field over South America and the Atlantic, is intensifying. This disruption is affecting satellites, the International Space Station, and ...

The turtles rely on Earth’s magnetic field to help them navigate in two ways. A magnetic map aids with location tracking, and a magnetic compass orients them in the right direction.

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

The Earth’s magnetic field is why we are here today. It protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and many other cosmic events. It is generated in the liquid outer core of our planet ...

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...
