A groundbreaking space mission will capture the first-ever images of Earth's protective magnetic bubble from 120,000 km above the North Pole. The project could revolutionize how we predict dangerous space weather for future missions.
Scientists discovered an unexpected pocket of protection on the moon that reduces harmful space radiation by 20%. This breakthrough could make future lunar missions safer for astronauts.
For the first time in 50 years, astronauts will travel beyond Earth's protective magnetic field, but NASA has them covered. A 24/7 space weather monitoring system will track the Sun's most powerful eruptions to keep the Artemis II crew safe.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just captured the most detailed 3D view ever of Uranus' upper atmosphere, revealing how its bizarre tilted magnetic field creates sweeping auroras unlike anywhere else in our solar system. The findings could help us understand distant planets beyond our own cosmic neighborhood.
Scientists finally cracked a 50-year puzzle about the moon's magnetic past using rocks brought back by Apollo astronauts. The answer? Both theories were right.
Scientists just cracked a decades-old puzzle about the moon's magnetic past using rocks collected over 50 years ago. The answer was hiding in plain sight all along.
The James Webb Space Telescope mapped Uranus's glowing pink auroras across a full day, revealing how the ice giant's strange tilted magnetic field shapes its atmosphere. These stunning observations bring us closer to understanding the galaxy's most common type of planet.
Scientists discovered Earth's magnetic field took up to 70,000 years to flip during one ancient reversal—seven times longer than expected. The finding helps us understand how our planet's protective shield has protected life through history.
Scientists used the Webb telescope to create the first 3D map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how the planet's sideways magnetic field creates uniquely strange auroras. The discovery helps us understand mysterious ice giant planets both in our solar system and beyond.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first three-dimensional map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how energy moves through the ice giant and shaping our understanding of distant planets. The groundbreaking observations captured a full rotation of the planet and discovered how its unusual magnetic field creates sweeping auroras.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first-ever video of Uranus spinning through space, revealing dancing auroras shaped by the planet's unusual magnetic field. The breakthrough gives us an unprecedented look at one of the solar system's most mysterious atmospheres.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D maps of Uranus's auroras, revealing how energy moves through the planet's strange, tilted magnetic field. The breakthrough could help us understand distant worlds beyond our solar system.
Canadian researchers discovered a groundbreaking way to stabilize damaged brain proteins using weak magnetic fields, opening new doors for treating diseases affecting over a million Canadians. The quantum biology breakthrough could revolutionize how we approach neurodegenerative disease treatment.
Researchers in India discovered how to forecast dangerous solar eruptions that threaten power grids, using magnetic field patterns as an early warning system. The breakthrough could help protect satellites, communications, and electrical systems from geomagnetic storms.
A Queensland clinic is transforming mental health treatment by scanning brains first, then targeting therapy with magnetic fields, ketamine, and psilocybin. Patients who suffered for decades are sleeping through the night and living without pain for the first time.
Scientists discovered two massive zones of superheated rock deep inside Earth that help control our planet's protective magnetic shield. This breakthrough explains mysteries about how Earth stays geologically active and magnetically protected.
Chinese researchers used quantum sensors to analyze a single speck of lunar dust, revealing the moon once had its own magnetic field until 2 billion years ago. The breakthrough shows how tiny particles can unlock massive secrets about our cosmic neighbor's past.
Rocky planets up to six times Earth's size could generate powerful magnetic fields from layers of molten rock, not just their cores. This discovery suggests far more alien worlds might protect potential life from deadly cosmic radiation than scientists previously thought.
Scientists in Basel have proven that splitting entangled atoms into separate clouds creates sensors that measure electromagnetic fields with stunning accuracy. This quantum leap could make atomic clocks and gravity detectors dramatically more precise.
Scientists have cracked a major puzzle in satellite control, using magnetic fields instead of fuel to move spacecraft. This breakthrough could keep space missions running longer and prevent dangerous collisions in orbit.
