Solar Orbiter probe has been looping around the Sun with a special purpose in mind: Studying the poles of our star. The planets orbit the Sun in a single plane, called the ecliptic. This means we're ...

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

Natural crystals fascinate with their vibrant colors, their nearly flawless appearance and their manifold symmetrical forms.

Two German physicists have unveiled a compact magnet layout that outperforms the famed Halbach array, delivering stronger, ...

One of those investigations involved a distinctive deep dive into studying the interior of the moon.

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

And that’s exactly what happened, at least some of the time. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were caught, off Florida’s Gulf Coast, they swam in ...

What Will Happen When the Earth’s Magnetic Field Begins to Reverse? On the University of Maryland campus, a giant whirligig tries to predict the planet’s next big flip Haley Edwards May 2014 ...

Sometimes, the magnetic fields are relatively weak, like the ones that thread their way through the spiral arms of galaxies. Sometimes, they're medium-strength, like Earth's.

Neanderthals have long been the subject of intense scientific debate. This is largely because we still lack clear answers to ...

Magnetic fields are produced by electrical currents that are generated by various astrophysical objects. The study of magnetic fields seeks to understand their origin, as well as the acceleration ...

Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.
