Astronomers have spotted an alien planet orbiting so closely to its home star, the planet's magnetic field is triggering ...

Scientists at TU Delft have unlocked a key quantum effect in graphene without using any magnetic fields, paving the way for ...

Imagine waking up tomorrow and discovering that Earth had started spinning in the opposite direction. The sun would rise in the west, set in the ... Read more The post What If Earth Rotated Backward?

A groundbreaking new study has uncovered surprising revelations about the moons of Uranus, challenging existing theories of how these moons interact with the planet’s magnetic field. Researchers, ...

“Hazards have to be respected,” Lathrop says. With the sphere spinning at 45 miles per hour, and a little help from electro­magnets, the team saw short-lived magnetic bursts within the sodium.

A simple and inexpensive experimental procedure is proposed to investigate the skin friction caused by air in a rotating sphere. A device using a magnetic field keeps the sphere levitating. The sphere ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied scientists for generations. It sits over 3,000 miles below the surface, smaller ...

Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.

It is a sphere, and it is rotating at an incredible speed. The core is very complex, but it has been simplified by the Taylor-Proudman theorem.

This animation takes us into a spinning pulsar, with its strong magnetic field rotating along with it. Clouds of charged particles move along the field lines and their gamma rays are beamed like a ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots ...
