Only a few years ago, astronomers heralded the discovery of a rocky world circling the sun 's closest space neighbor, Proxima ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

Webb has filled in many gaps left by Voyager 2, the only spacecraft to visit the planet. In 2022, the telescope captured ...

Today, one of these escaped high-speed streams will be pointed directly at Earth. Earth's magnetic field deflects most of the solar wind, but some charged particles make it through into the upper ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...

At left is NASA's Perseverance Mars rover, with a circle indicating the location of the calibration target for the rover's ...

This story was originally published by Grist with the headline The weirdest ways scientists are mining for critical minerals, ...

Illustration of the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft ... to better understand solar wind, magnetic fields, and space weather that can affect Earth. Built to withstand extreme heat and radiation, the ...

Electric fields are produced by voltage, and magnetic fields are produced by current. Electric fields and magnetic fields manifest themselves in different ways and have different characteristics. For ...

This flower-shaped geometry causes the field lines of an external magnetic field to concentrate in the center of the device, resulting in a greatly intensified magnetic field. The study is ...
