When it comes to layered quantum materials, current understanding only scratches the surface; so demonstrates a new study ...

Not only is Earth’s inner core spinning and growing, but it’s also changing shape, according to new research. Our planet’s [… ...

Planet demographics reveal a puzzling lack of worlds in a certain size range throughout the galaxy F or centuries our solar system was the only planetary system known to humans. We had no proof other ...

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet ...

That’s quite a big gap, as it turns out. It covers fields from gigantic bodies like the Sun and Earth, as well as those ...

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

Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects on the planet because the ice helps regulate Earth’s climate, influences global weather patterns, and affects ocean circulations. Sea Ice Today began as a way to ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

The hot, glowing gases normally contained within the magnetic fields are missing and flowing out into space. That gaseous material is on its way to Earth, blowing out at speeds of more than 310 ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements.

The tidal flows of Earth’s salty seawater across Earth’s magnetic field lines generate electric currents within the ocean. These in turn induce secondary magnetic fields that form part of the planet’s ...
