The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...

A frightening simulation shows what would happen if the world was to stop spinning. As we all know (and if you don’t, give ...

Faraday rotation (FR) is a useful optical technique to investigate magnetic properties of solid and liquid samples. FR refers to magnetically induced birefringence whereby a substance rotates the ...

Earlier research had found that the rings of Saturn respond to vibrations within the planet. Saturn's interior vibrates at frequencies that cause slight variations in its gravitational field, and the ...

Jupiter isn’t alone in this category; Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are also gas giants, though Uranus and Neptune are often ...

The field of advanced propulsion and gravity manipulation has long captivated the curiosity of scientists, engineers, and ...

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

External magnetic fields have been used to vertically align ensembles of silicon microwires coated with ferromagnetic nickel films. X-ray diffraction and image analysis techniques were used to ...

Imagine Earth suddenly stops spinning what happens next? From flying debris and mega-tsunamis to magnetic collapse and ...

For over half a billion years, Earth’s magnetic field has risen and fallen in sync with oxygen levels in the atmosphere, and scientists are finally uncovering why. A NASA-led study reveals a striking ...

"If the effect is real and scaling behaves the way our equations say, then the possibility becomes real," Chyba told Newsweek ...
