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 ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

Aurora borealis is best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA, which recommends traveling to a high ...

The discovery of chorus waves happened by accident—and not in space but on Earth ... but were free to form anywhere out in space with a magnetic field. “Space is full of high-energy particles ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have questions, though.

Lightning can be used to probe Earth’s dynamic Van Allen radiation belts, directly connecting terrestrial weather and space ...

Occasionally, a group of electrons ends up spinning wildly through Earth's magnetic field, and as the electrons spin, they release energy in the form of radiation. That radiation interacts with ...

The northern lights are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA, which recommends traveling to a ...
