A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...

Space is a bad place, and it’ll always conspire to kill creatures as frail as we humans are. But that isn’t stopping us from going up there, in a bid to conquer the vast expanse. And to do that, we ...

Surrounding Earth is a powerful magnetic field created by swirling liquid iron in the planet’s core. Earth’s magnetic field may be nearly as old as the Earth itself – and stands in stark contrast to ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. As cosmic strings — exotic wrinkles in space-time left over from the earliest moments of the Big ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

Every minute matters in the event of a tsunami, and over the years we have seen a number of interesting ideas around how these giant waves might be better predicted ahead of time. These include ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...

A small, faint brown dwarf located 37 light-years from Earth is the coldest on record to produce radio waves. Usually, ultracool brown dwarfs do not produce radio emissions because they do not possess ...
