New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of Earth's formation and potentially calls ...

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

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity.

Driving Earth’s tectonic plate movement and powering its magnetic field requires an immense amount of power. The energy is derived from the center of the Earth, but scientists are certain the ...

While this might sound alarming, most of them are prevented from reaching the Earth’s surface by our planet’s natural forcefield (its atmosphere and magnetic field). However, in some cases ...

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 ...

Each up to 559 miles tall and thousands of miles wide—and together covering some 25 percent of the surface of our planet's core— Earth's LLVPs ... to lead to a magnetic field reversal." ...

These deep structures could influence Earth’s magnetic field, potentially affecting its stability. This discovery challenges long-standing assumptions and opens new questions about our planet’s inner ...
