It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Black hole bombs have been theorised and developed since 1971, and now one was finally - safely - created in the UK.

Earth's magnetic field flips much more frequently than we thought. The planet’s magnetic poles swapped places at an astounding rate about 500 million years ago, which offers clues to core ...

In a nutshell 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, causing auroras to appear globally—even over places like North Africa and Australia.

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

Since the magnetic field is sustained by geological activity deep within our planet, let’s start with an overview of its structure. Although we’ve hardly scratched Earth’s surface (the center lies ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange ...

Scientists have discovered that the 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing, allowing harmful radiation to come closer to our planet's surface. The region, known as the South Atlantic ...
