A major defense against everything space throws at us, Earth’s magnetic field may even protect the moon from damaging galactic cosmic rays ...

It’s a fact that the reactivity of singlet oxygen is controlled by magnetic fields. This groundbreaking discovery has led researchers to believe that there may be a previously unknown magnetoreceptor ...

Three years of radiation data collected on the far side of the moon show that Earth’s magnetic field still reaches the lunar surface, cutting incoming galactic cosmic rays by as much as 20 percent ...

NASA’s Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission has uncovered a phenomenon previously unseen in space. Scientists have ...

The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in material science. It occurs when a material carrying an electric current is exposed to a magnetic field, producing a voltage perpendicular to both the ...

Primordial magnetic fields may help explain why measurements of the universe’s expansion do not agree. Scientists have long known that the universe is expanding, yet there is still no agreement on how ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth's magnetic field is like an invisible shield that protects our planet from solar and cosmic radiation. While it might not be ...
