NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Micrometer-sized, flower-shaped structures made of a nickel-iron alloy can locally enhance magnetic fields by concentrating field lines at their center. The ...

We all know that the Earth is in constant motion - it is something we learnt in school, and while we might not feel it at all, our planet is constantly moving, completing one rotation around the ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

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 ...

It’s also been conducting a number of scientific experiments, including the observation of Earth’s magnetic field from the moon. Associate NASA adminstrator Nicky Fox said recently that the ...

This instrument will use X-rays to study how solar winds interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, and is one of several NASA instruments on board the lander. Regarding the landing, NASA acting ...
