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

How a new generation of navigation tech could be the key to ensuring safe, reliable, and secure navigation for aircraft.

A huge 'dent' anomaly in the Earth's magnetic field has NASA on high alert. Charged particles from the Sun are repelled and trapped by Earth's magnetic field, which surrounds the planet like a shield.

It will be the world's first ideal constellation combining polar orbit and low-inclination satellites, offering detailed 3D observations of Earth's magnetic field and space weather.

Lightning strikes in the atmosphere can trigger a rain of high-powered “killer electrons” in low-Earth orbit that form harmful streams of radiation, new research suggests.

There are more than 2,000 mostly intact dead rockets circling the Earth, but until this year, no one ever launched a satellite to go see what one looked like after many years of tumbling around ...

Launched in 2000, this was the first space mission to explore the interaction of solar particles with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. Burch is now senior vice president of SwRI’s space ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a vast region located above South America and the South Atlantic Ocean where the Earth's magnetic field is particularly weak, is catching the attention of researchers. This ...
