The reliable manipulation of the speed at which light travels through objects could have valuable implications for the ...

The images show ultra-fine bright and dark stripes (called striations) in the thin, gaseous layer of the sun's atmosphere ...

Geophysicist Daniel Lathrop wants, among other things, to use it to predict when the Earth’s magnetic ... the reversal, a gradual event that takes about a thousand years, the field will weaken.

A mysterious event 41,000 years ago sent Earth’s magnetic field into chaos, reshaping the planet in ways we’re just beginning to understand. Scientists have uncovered haunting sounds that bring this ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly(SAA), a region of weakened magnetic field over South America and the Atlantic, is intensifying.

Aurora displays known as the northern and southern lights are commonly visible near the poles, where charged particles from ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 ...

They investigated whether such impact-generated plasma waves could concentrate and amplify not the Moon’s inherent magnetic field, but the solar magnetic field carried by the solar wind.

The Sun is currently at the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, known as its solar maximum period. This is a result of the star’s magnetic poles flipping, which causes it to transition to an ...

solar wind, interstellar medium, even the plasma between galaxies. The key distinction in astrophysical environments is the presence of magnetic fields, which fundamentally alter the nature of ...

Magnetic fields offer a promising solution for such control, enabling remote real-time actuation over large areas. High-frequency alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) induce localized heating through ...
