Lightning happens all the time, but certain parts of the world get far less of it than others, including near the North Pole. Lightning requires atmospheric instability, something that’s set up ...

The Solar Orbiter space mission, a joint initiative of the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA, has for the first time ...

In this paper, we present a measurement model for estimating the magnetic field of a synchrotron-type particle accelerator, based on sensors installed in a reference magnet. The model combines the ...

Here is everything to know about the northern lights this week, including whether they will be visible in Arizona. The northern lights will actually be visible in 15 states tonight: Alaska. Washington ...

The impacts of space weather such as extreme solar winds and magnetic waves are not limited to outer space. Bursts of plasma emanating from the sun, for instance, can temporarily intensify electric ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

He also exposed the sharks to a magnetic field mimicking a place the exact same distance to the north. When he did that, though, the sharks didn’t seem to have a clue where they were and didn ...

NASA has detected a mysterious weakening in Earth’s magnetic field over South America, here’s what it means for satellites and our planet.

This caused much angst in the North Pole Community and a protest petition was compiled and submitted. Mayor Con Miller also sent a letter of protest to U. S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, ...

By George Ramsay, CNN (CNN) — Mondo Duplantis broke the pole vault world record for the 12th time in his career in front of a delighted home crowd in Stockholm, Sweden. Duplantis cleared 6.28 ...

The Solar Orbiter is the first spacecraft to study the Sun's poles - and finds the magnetic field in a state of flip ...

We report on an experimental study of a three-pole active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. Two cases (with and without a motor) are investigated. For the system without a motor, we designed and ...
