Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...

The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

Mars is the Red Planet, but turns out the moon has the makings of a reddish cast, too. Yes, scientists have found rust on the moon. The question is: why?

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

Quantum-based gravity sensors have probed fundamental physics, and they could transform our understanding of what’s just ...

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

Scientists report that a new class of magnetism, altermagnetism, can increase memory device operation speeds by up to a ...

A decade-long radio mystery has finally been solved: astronomers have linked repeating pulses to a white dwarf and red dwarf ...

Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...
