A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

This makes the small Central African country the ideal field site for AfriSAR, a campaign to test technologies that will lead to future space missions to measure forests from space. During two weeks ...

An artist’s concept depicts one of NASA’s Voyager probes. The twin spacecraft launched in 1977. NASA/JPL-Caltech Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and 2, initially sent to explore the outer planets ...

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 ...

Initially, these nanodots are paramagnetic, meaning they don’t react strongly to a magnetic field. However, when a negative voltage is applied via an electrode at the bottom, it creates an ...

Grounding, also called earthing, is a technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth. These activities may include being in direct contact ...

Students enrolled in GEOL 1303 Physical Geology and GEOL 1103 Physical Geology Lab have the option to attend field trips. These trips take place on campus and at various locations throughout the Texas ...

DURING the last ascent of the balloon F.NM.S. (August 18, 1934), we had the opportunity of measuring with precision the intensity of cosmic rays at altitudes of about 12,000 m., 15,000 m.

An asteroid has a small chance of hitting Earth less than eight years from now ... For reference, an American football field measures 100 yards — or 300 feet — long. "It is very important ...

For wild animals, survival hinges on sensory abilities vastly different from those of humans. By placing trackers on animals around the world, we're discovering what they know and what it can teach us ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...
