Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

What if Earth’s Magnetic Field disappeared? This video explores the potential consequences of such an event, including the ...

Particle physicists who hunt for neutrinos, cosmic-rays and other charged particles rely on sophisticated instruments that detect very faint bursts of light given off when incident particles interact ...

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the sun toward Earth. Here, it meets Earth's magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella. The Space Umbrella project ...

The Sun's warping of Earth's magnetic protections could explain how aurora occur in other parts of our solar system. Reading time 2 minutes Our Sun is a dynamic star, constantly bombarding our planet ...

Four-and-a-half billion years ago, Earth’s surface was a menacing, hot mess. Long before the emergence of life, temperatures were scorching, and the air was toxic. Plus, as a mere toddler, the Sun ...

3D and cross-sectional views of an optimized Superconducting (SC)- Soft-Ferromagnetic bilayer (SFM) cloak. At the left no SFM is used showing the diamagnetic response of the SC. At the right the ...

Electromagnetic shielding in the low-frequency regime (from quasi-static up to a few kilohertz) addresses the attenuation of unwanted electric and magnetic fields that can interfere with power systems ...
