Fluid-rock interactions on ancient Mars may have produced abundant magnetic minerals that preserved unusually intense records ...
A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...
Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...
Barnard's Star is a small, dim star of the type that astronomers call red dwarfs. Consequently, even though it is one of the ...
By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner core has experienced a b ...
Dramatic theories have been proposed to explain the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants of our solar ...
The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...
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 ...
Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth rotating through its own magnetic field — according to ... making it hard to verify that some other effect isn’t causing the observations.
