Earth's magnetosphere - the region of space dominated by the planetary magnetic field - provides some protection for ...

While most are deflected away, some become captured in the Earth's magnetic field, accelerating down towards the north pole into the atmosphere. This is why most of the aurora activity is ...

The authors present geophysical models that estimate the crustal abundance of serpentinization-derived magnetite required to produce the fields observed at Mars’ strongest magnetic anomalies as ...

we can detect Earth's magnetic field in real time and compare the measurements to pre-existing magnetic field maps, providing a resilient alternative to satellite navigation like GPS. Since magnetic ...

Quantum technology is no longer confined to the lab – it’s making its way into our everyday lives. Now, it’s about to transform something even more fundamental: how we navigate the world.

Astronauts on the International Space Station are still within Earth’s magnetic field, which protects them from solar and cosmic radiation effects. If you travel to Mars, you will be exposed to ...

Relatively early in its history, Mars lost its magnetic field, which allowed the solar wind to claw away most of its atmosphere; with that, much of the water sublimed into space. It’s in the ...

With the exclusion of Mars, with its considered fossil magnetic field, and Venus, where accepted models are lacking and the magnetic field strength is extremely small or nonexistent, we will obtain a ...

Plus, let's not forget about Mars' lack of a global magnetic field, leaving its atmosphere vulnerable to being stripped away by solar winds. So while the idea might sound cool, the reality is more ...

A new technique shows that the dominance of gradual versus chaotic electron heating processes at Earth’s bow shock is controlled by how fast the shock is moving.
