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 ...

High above Earth's poles ... push about a million amps of electrical charge around the poles every second. They can create some of the largest magnetic disturbances on the ground, and rapid ...

"EZIE is the first mission dedicated exclusively to studying the electrojets," Larry Kepko, an EZIE mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a statement. "It does ...

These new discoveries could serve as a vital resource for future lunar missions, potentially aiding in the establishment of sustainable habitats on the Moon.

and a telescope that will observe how Earth's protective magnetic field, also known as the magnetosphere, responds to space weather. Firefly is also expecting the spacecraft to deliver stunning ...

Opinion High energy neutrinos are the coolest particles in astrophysics. Born in distant cosmic cataclysms, they speed through the universe almost as if it wasn't there. With no charge and a truly ...

They are ferroelectric-like, meaning the direction of their electric conduction can be reversed when an external electric field is applied ... dipoles—opposing magnetic poles a small distance ...

They published their work, which focuses on multifunctional two-dimensional field-effect transistors ... charges like tiny dipoles -- opposing magnetic poles a small distance apart -- but it ...

The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) —is a SmallSat mission that will characterize the electric currents that link Earth’s ... amps of electrical charge around the poles every second, ...
