Lunar rocks are famously dry. They contain almost none of the volatile elements that easily escape into space, such as ...

According to the results, ions in Earth's atmosphere are displaced by solar wind and shepherded along Earth's magnetic field ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Scientists launched a rocket from Svalbard, Norway, that measured Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. The weak field may control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere and ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

NASA launches TRACERS satellites to reveal how solar energy penetrates Earth's magnetic shield and triggers space storms.

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
