The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it.

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

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

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.

In an awe-inspiring yet little-known cosmic event, the Sun has once again flipped its magnetic field. This dramatic shift, ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

With the right preparations and technological solutions in place, aviation would continue to operate safely, even during a ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange ...

Some of the most sensitive methods of measuring magnetic fields use interactions of resonant light with atomic vapour. Recent developments in this vibrant field have led to improvements in ...
