Astronomers track the sun's 11-year cycle by counting sunspots. Also, we're expecting a strong geomagnetic storm and aurora ...

Recently, the Aditya-L1 mission captured a solar flare ‘kernel’ in the lower solar atmosphere. What is a solar flare? Why has ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall ...

Horage hopes to help independent watchmakers produce watches priced at around $2,500 using advanced components that are ...

Spring equinox may be the best time to see the aurora with a peak in solar activity combining with a special effect.

The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox and means that you are twice as likely to see the aurora in spring and autumn ...

Explaining the science behind the northern lights, and why 2025 could bring more opportunities to see them. #ExtremeNature ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, the Moon's passage through Earth's magnetic field, or "geotail," does not lead to lower plasma densities. Listen to Story Scientists from the Space Physics Laboratory ...

The reason behind this has to do with the solar cycle. Like a bar magnet, the Sun also has a magnetic field with north and south poles. The magnetic field exists due to the constant movement of ...

A material’s response to an applied magnetic field can be characterized as diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. Four-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes possess high energy ...
