Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

If you've never witnessed the awesome natural spectacle that is the Northern Lights, tonight you may finally get your chance.

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...

The animation has strong background and fluid, expressive movement. “The Day the Earth Blew Up” has striking imagery and is inventive about its sci-fi/disaster/zombie movie trappings.The wit ...

Data visualization is a young field, however, and perhaps we’ll learn how to make beautiful, effective animations quickly & inexpensively. Right now, however, perhaps we should focus on improving more ...

I’m torn between describing exactly what happens and letting the video speak for itself, but I think spoiler-free is the best way to experience this absurd animation.

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an instability of our planet's magnetic field. The two odd formations – one ...

The moving metals in Earth's core create the planet's magnetic field. Our planet sits in a small corner of the Milky Way galaxy, 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's center. Our solar system lives ...

NASA will be able to compare lots of data gathered on Earth with EZIE's observations. "EZIE scientists will be collecting magnetic field data from above, and the students will be collecting ...

Recently, I returned to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica for another international expedition, this time with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Ocean Ecology Laboratory’s Field Support ... new ...
