The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it.
Scientists have long considered the potential of harvesting the Earth’s magnetic field for energy and extensive research has been conducted into its influence. One theory proposes that the process of ...
Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...
Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that ...
A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...
It will capture low-energy X-rays generated when the solar wind smashes into Earth's magnetic field at the magnetopause, or the outer boundary of the magnetosphere. The instrument will track how ...
