Solar flares can reshape exoplanet atmospheres within days, affecting temperature, winds, and potential habitability.

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...

The versatile cannabis plant could, some scientists think, one day be useful for lunar and Martian colonists. For now, researchers will subject its seeds to radiation in orbit and see what happens.

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

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Sharks can navigate via Earth's magnetic field, study confirms for the first time. Scientists have long suspected the fish can travel by sensing the magnetic field, but no one knew how—until now.

Could cosmic radiation from a magnetic pole shift explain Neanderthal extinction? A new study from the University of Michigan ...
