According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Astrophysicist and artist Ed Belbruno explains how art helps scientists communicate their work to the public and even ...

The anomaly point weakens Earth’s magnetic field, so cosmic radiation passes through atmospheric space in increased amounts. Scientists study the SAA because it poses risks to satellites and other ...

It looked still to you before because you were moving with it. We have this same problem with electric and magnetic fields. Depending on your reference frame, what appears to be a magnetic force ...

As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind align, creating an increased chance of seeing the colorful auroras in the ...
